Environmental Awareness and Governance: Ecolinguistic and Discourse Perspectives is a comprehensive exploration that delves into the intricate relationship between language, discourse, and environmental issues. This book begins by examining the role of environmental governance in Moroccan political parties' electoral programs, followed by an analysis of how Moroccan online media communicates water stress as a risk issue. It also provides an ecolinguistic analysis of a computer-animated Netflix film, "e;The Sea Beast"e;, and discusses the impact of climate change on Moroccan agriculture, particularly focusing on the "e;Generation Green"e; strategy.The editors and contributors explore the role of translation in the environmental movement and discusses the shift from the Anthropocene to the Capitalocene in the context of global climate change. They also provide a critical discourse analysis of the environmental discourse of the COP27, highlighting the North-South divide. The latter part of this book focuses on environmental literacy and awareness among students and also examines the environmental awareness of Moroccan university students and its impact on their environmental practices.The book further discusses the role of visual language in environmental representation, using Moroccan cinema as a case study. It explores the intersection of language, translation, and posthumanism, focusing on cross-species interaction in Margaret Atwood's trilogy.This book concludes with an ecocritical interpretation of solastalgia in Mohsin Hamid's "e;Exit West"e; and a generic, ecocritical reading of climate change in Kim Stanley Robinson's Science in the Capital Trilogy. Each chapter provides a unique perspective on environmental issues, making it a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in environmental studies.
