+### Climate Change Fiction: A Conversation with Amitav Ghosh
+{{ :events:2024_climate_change_fiction_webinars:climate_fiction_talks_poster_designs_ep_4.jpg?nolink&200|}}Our last three sessions have discussed climate change fiction’s speculative capacities, examined imaginative responses to the alienation between humans and nature through these areas of speculative fiction, and discussed the anthology Ecoceanic: Southern Flows in this context.
+In this session, Ashish Kothari of Kalpavriksh and the Global Tapestry of Alternatives will be conversing with Amitav Ghosh, celebrated author, about issues such as the range and scope of climate fiction, and its potential for influencing actual action on the climate crisis.
+## Past events
+GTA is usually presented in many conferences and gatherings around the world. Here we present a resume and report of each participation.
+### Marine ecosystems and climate fiction from South Asia - Episode 3 | 06/04/2024
+{{ :events:2024_climate_change_fiction_webinars:climate_fiction_talks_poster_designs_ep_3.jpg?nolink&200|}} Accelerated anthropogenic climate change poses a serious existential threat to dwellers in the marine world, besides the fisherfolk and inhabitants of coastal areas. The melting of land ice in Antarctica and Greenland, leading to rise of ocean levels, besides the deleterious effects of acidification on marine ecosystems, may soon reach a tipping point if adequate mitigation is not undertaken soon.
+In this episode, writers and activists from South Asia shared their creative responses to this ongoing crisis, which may eventually lead to biosphere collapse if such trends are not reversed.

-In this session, we will focus on conceptual and narrative antecedents to contemporary climate change fiction in the region. The focus is thus on the archive of imaginative responses to the alienation of humans from nature in the wake of the introduction of the colonial and post colonial development paradigms.

-Utopian, visionary and speculative narratives from South Asia have sought to engage with consequent environmental degradation and the ecological crisis in different ways. The panelists will track the possibility of critique and seek to trace the genealogies for the recent turn to climate change fiction in South Asia.
