The document outlines several dominant and emerging narrative frames for climate stories, including "earned dystopia", "youth mutiny", "techno saviour", and "global awakening", as well as proposing new narrative approaches like "messy utopias" and "indigenous stories as guides". The authors illustrate how fear-based messaging can be shifted to hope-filled narratives that can inspire and mobilise people to take action.
