Taking a more YA-oriented approach, Saci Lloyd's The Carbon Diaries puts the plight of young people in a climate-ravaged world front and centre. Sixteen-year-old Laura does her best to keep her life together and to keep up with the newly-mandated "carbon rationing" implemented to try to reduce the chances of catastrophe. Of course, the plan doesn't work as hoped, and Laura's world is shattered when multiple natural disasters hit and her own family is directly impacted.
