Climate fiction, or climate change fiction, sometimes abbreviated to cli-fi, is a sub-genre of fiction, especially novels, that deal with climate change and global warming. Recently several works of speculative fiction and science fiction, by authors like Margaret Atwood, and Kim Stanley Robinson, have explored this subject matter.

Other novelists and literary critics who have explored climate themes, include Sarah Holding, Barbara Kingsolver, and journalist Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow.

Some universities now offer courses which feature novels with climate change themes.
