A new free YouTube channel with several playlists expands the Bureau’s communications efforts, with the help of a popular climate fiction author.
As part of our ongoing efforts to communicate our mission and goals to the global public, the Bureau of Environmental Security is invited new subscribers to a free channel on YouTube, the world’s leading video sharing site. The channel is a partnership with science fiction writer J.G. Follansbee, who has written several novels and stories in the climate fiction subgenre, including the series Tales From a Warming Planet, and The Future History of the Grail.
The BES Public Engagement Team invites everyone to subscribe to the channel @BureauOfEnvironmentalSecurity or visit the channel page, https://www.youtube.com/@BureauOfEnvironmentalSecurity. The long-form videos and YouTube Shorts are produced by Follansbee, who has created several playlists for viewer convenience. (Follansbee also serves as the BES website administrator).
Bureau of Environmental Security Authorized Playlist: A growing list of BES-sanctioned videos discussing the agency’s history, role in environmental law enforcement, and programs. Most videos added over the next few months will appear in this playlist.
How to Write Fiction – Climate Writing Prompts: A series of YouTube Shorts and other videos intended to inspire climate change storytelling.

Dystopian Sci-Fi & Horror Stories – BES Official Readings: The Bureau encourages creative storytelling to raise awareness of the climate crisis. These videos are short stories created by Follansbee to inspire and entertain you.
Science Fiction & Fantasy – BES Official Readings: Readings by Follansbee of the first 1,000 words of his novels from the series Tales From a Warming Planet, and The Future History of the Grail, which feature strong climate change themes. The latter series is a retelling of the famed Arthurian legends.
Bureau of Environmental Security Historical Archive: This collection of videos go back to days prior to BES creation, but are kept in an archive to demonstrate the breadth of BES’s interest in the global environment.
The Public Engagement Team plans a wide variety of videos that we hope will enrich your understanding of the climate crisis. We’d love to hear your ideas on video subjects. Please comment below with your suggestions.
