Solarpunks cherish nature, progress and science; the individual and the community.

They believe in a world that is green, colourful, and bright. It can be described as a literary genre, an aesthetic, or a movement. The key points are:
 
  * An emphasis on renewable energy, especially solar power.
  * A demand for technology and society to re-centre around sustainability, longevity, and balance.
  * A focus on decentralisation, community activism, social justice and civic empowerment.
  * A recognition that economic, social, and ecological injustices are all deeply inter-connected.
