Abstract:

This research identifies the following dominant themes and ideologies in the selected climate change speeches: climate change, vulnerability, justice, accountability, power and power struggle, education, dependency, and leadership. The study established that the choice of certain words has some connection with the thematic and ideological beliefs of the speaker. Critical Discourse Analytic (CDA) tools provided a good channel to extract the ecolinguistics treasures in the selected speeches. These themes and ideologies reveal the politics and dynamics of the global north and global south geopolitical divides. The study has also opened the frontiers of knowledge in the field of green linguistics or ecolinguistics, digital humanities, and the need to rethink humanities scholarship which addresses real-world issues such as climate change in linguistic studies.

Keywords:Climate crisis discourses COP 27 Dominant thematic themes Ecolinguistics Ideologies.
