<p dir="ltr">Since the late 1980s, various authors from the US, UK, Australia, and elsewhere have contributed to a literary archive of climate change’s impacts, and charting these impacts has led to a proliferation of both realistic and speculative climate solutions. Because climate change cannot be “solved,” these climate solutions account for both pragmatic answers and considerations of both immediate and future problems. <i>Climate Solutions and Genre Politics in Contemporary Fiction</i> catalogues these climate solutions and their circulation in contemporary fiction. Literary representations of climate solutions enable ethical considerations of different climate solutions in different contexts while thinking through the unfolding impacts of climate change. Literary representations of climate solutions also prompt the formulation of genre politics as an analytical framework because they draw on conventions from climate fiction, science fiction, utopian fiction, and realism to engage readers. Conceiving of genre as a spectrum, <i>Climate Solutions and Genre Politics in Contemporary Fiction</i> identifies four categories (climate engineering, biodiversity work, care futures, and creative work) of climate solutions that speak to different elements of the climate, biodiversity, and care crises. Putting these crises into conversation through different climate solutions, the dissertation<i> </i>delineates new modes of engagement with literary representations of climate change, shifts conceptions of genre in literary studies, and provides insights into the future of climate justice efforts. The complexities of climate solutions, and the genre politics required to assess them, make them a compelling object of inquiry for literary studies, ecocriticism, and environmental humanities more broadly.</p>
