In this article, we argue thatNorwegian climate change fiction and related works draw on elements that relate to specific nationaland/or Nordic cultural, societal and historical features, and that these elements give these works theirdistinct identity. We focus on four such features: (1) notions of “Nordicity”; (2) an (imagined) intimateconnection between Norwegianness and nature, often seen as a typical element of Norwegian nationalidentity; (3) references to Norwegian petroculture (since the Norwegian economy is largely based on theexport of fossil fuels) , and (4) an atmosphere of gloom and melancholia in many of the works, which draws on a Nordic tradition of painting and literature, and which also often characterises the genre of Nordic noir.
