Ideas for Your Climate Crisis Monologue

We’re inviting you to write a short monologue, a piece of creative writing that connects, in some way, to the climate crisis, the natural world, or the ways people are being shaped by change.

That connection can be loud or quiet. Bold or subtle. Literal or imagined. Your monologue might shout in protest, whisper in grief, or dream into the future. It doesn’t need to be heavy-handed, sometimes all it takes is a flicker of a feeling. A moment. A spark.

Maybe your character is writing a love letter beneath a wind turbine.

Maybe they’re watching floodwaters rise.
Maybe they’re planting a tree.
Telling a bedtime story about rising seas.
Feeling lost. Or holding onto hope.

What matters most is that you write from the heart.

Some Ideas to Spark You

You might write about:

Someone surviving a heatwave, a wildfire, or a hurricane.
A time traveller returning from a scorched future.
A child reimagining a fairy tale in a world without forests.
A farmer losing land to drought or rebuilding after the rain.
An astronaut watching Earth grow smaller, greener… or more damaged.

Or you might take a more surreal or symbolic path:

An argument between two oceans.
A city swallowed by the sea, told through letters in a bottle.
A future without oil. Without winter. Without bees.

Fact or dream. Grief or hope. Quiet or raging.
Every emotion is welcome. Every voice matters.

What Kind of Style Can You Use?

There’s no “right” way to write a monologue. Let the form match your message:

Realistic: a moment from everyday life.
Poetic: rich in rhythm and imagery.
Spoken Word: fierce, flowing, and full of feeling.
Internal Monologue: thoughts unravelling aloud.
A Letter: written to someone they love, fear, or remember.
Surreal or Absurd: reality bent to reveal deeper truths.

Whether this is your first script or your fiftieth, you are welcome.
We want your voice, your vision, your imagination.
