LAX LAB 2.0 is a community, book club, and educational resource dedicated to the stories and worlds of climate fiction. This is the first project by the Institute for Art & Environment and launched in May 2024.

The community and book club are hosted at Substack, where you can find information about the works of climate fiction we are reading, participate in community discussions, and find inspiration.

LAX LAB 2.0 is an experimental, living, collective space exploring the art and power of the written word through the lens of climate change. LAX LAB 2.0 builds on the success of the original LAX LAB Climate Fiction Book Club, active between 2020 and 2023 . The project strives to build community and hope through open and inclusive dialogues on climate change through literature.

Please sign up to support the project, join the community, and be kept up-to-date on current books and upcoming events. Check Substack or the book club page to see what we are currently reading.
