UC Irvine Climate Futures Collective

Three people stand on a sunny hillside surrounded by cacti and dry vegetation, with one person gesturing while speaking to the others. Modern buildings and a distant city skyline are visible in the background.
Name
UC Irvine Climate Futures Collective
Description
Graduate students at UC Irvine lead this research group on art, decolonization, abolition, ecosocialism, and climate change. Founded in 2019 by Marianna Davison, Aaron Katzeman, and Scott Volz, it helped lay the groundwork for UCI’s Environmental Humanities Research Center. Its name nods to UCI scientists’ role in identifying chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as the main cause of ozone depletion.
