The Impending Future of an Uprooted Generation: An Experimental Semi-Fiction

This semi-fiction piece begins with a personal story about Syria and the Syrian migration crisis, then moves to shed light on the lives of the Marshall Islands residents, who will become climate migrants in the near future if Climate Change advances at the current rate. The following section explores the life and struggles of a real Marshallese activist. It is followed by a future-casting narrative 30 years into the future, when her child (now grown up) has to tackle migration issues on her own, along with other Climate-Change-induced havoc in society.

Abstract

This semi-fiction piece begins with a personal story about Syria and the Syrian migration crisis, then moves to shed light on the lives of the Marshall Islands residents, who will become climate migrants in the near future if Climate Change advances at the current rate. The following section explores the life and struggles of a real Marshallese activist. It is followed by a future-casting narrative 30 years into the future, when her child (now grown up) has to tackle migration issues on her own, along with other Climate-Change-induced havoc in society.
