Summary/Abstract: Zuzana Obertová presents the term climate fiction and points out its relationship to science fiction. She draws attention to the problem of reducing the idea of climate fiction to a type of genre literature. She gives examples of climate fiction by Polish and Slovak authors and presents ecocriticism as a research method for climate fiction as well as climate change literature in a broad sense. She sums up the state of ecocriticism in Poland and Slovakia.
