Climate migration is one of the biggest challenges the world faces.
The World Bank estimates that up to 216 million people will be forced to leave their home regions due to climate change by 2050.
Many are expected to head towards Europe, but in MALI, the situation is turned on up-side-down.
What if it were us affected instead?

MALI - a climate thriller about being a climate refugee
Climate change has now shown its full power.
Northern Europe is freezing, and more than 100 million inhabitants are forced to flee. They are powerless, unwanted, frightened, hungry, and without hope for the future, but according to the UN and current international law, they cannot be classified as refugees.
In a remote corner of Denmark, a small village is home to a few families still trying to survive in the new environment, cut off from the outside world. As the cold worsens, and food and fuel rapidly dwindle, they must leave the village and face the harsh new reality to the south.
The survival journey is a shocking and powerful tale of a family struggling to survive tragedy and confront the unknown.
MALI is the first volume in the series Victims of Hothouse Earth. MALI tells the story of the flight from a climate crisis threatening to wipe out large parts of Northern Europe’s population.

Library litterature advisor Inger Nygaard Kaad speaks about MALI on TV Kronjyllands Læselyst. (in Danish)
MALI is a thrilling and terrifyingly eerie novel about the disasters humanity is likely to face if we continue to make the wrong choices.
MALI is closer to us than Brave New World and 1984.
The writing style in MALI is truly captivating and manages to keep the reader on edge throughout the entire thriller. MALI is a frightening story that reminds us of what could happen if we don't act on climate change before it's too late.
A top-class climate thriller.
MALI is a book that activated my nervous system like the wildest action film, only on a completely different level... What if this actually happens in real life?

about MALI
A truly thought-provoking book that offers a glimpse into the drastic upheavals that could occur if we don't heed the warnings and take the climate threats seriously.

Mali is the most relevant piece of fiction to have seen the light of day so far. A wake-up call for everyone. I eagerly await the next book in the series.
A brilliant work of genius!
I was recommended to read this book. It's been a long time since I've read such an incredible book. Truly thought-provoking and brilliantly written from start to finish. 5 stars from me.
Dorte about MALI
MALI is frighteningly realistic in its narrative, and it's impossible not to become even more aware of the climate crisis we are currently facing.
MALI should be read by EVERYONE.
