Global human population is pushing Earth past its breaking point

Earth has already exceeded its ability to support the global population sustainably, with new research warning of increasing pressure on food security, climate stability, and human well-being. However, slowing population growth and raising global awareness could still offer humanity some hope.

The #novel belongs to the #literary #crime #fiction genre. Typically, #stories that include #climatechange have tended toward #dystopian futures. I have attempted to explore a #hopeful story without downplaying the terrifying #nature of the #climatecrisis.

In the #novel, I center the #people who are already getting displaced from their homes because of the effects of #climatechange. The #protagonist, Alia, is from Iran, a #country that is so severely affected by chronic #drought that relocating the entire #city of Tehran to a better location is actively under consideration. For #women, especially, the despair from #scarcity of #water sits on top of the immense #oppression they have faced for decades.
