say a few words about

Environmental world literature was proposed by Heather, referring to literary texts that have inspired the global environmental movement since the 19th century, such as Thoreau's Walden and Carson's Silent Spring. These texts have world-class influence. Since the 1990s, literature reflecting climate change has been on the rise, forming an important branch of environmental world literature. Environmental world literature refers to various literary texts that contain profound environmental ideas, widely spread and inspire environmental protection thoughts and movements worldwide.

review

Environmental world literature focuses on environmental issues such as air, soil, water quality, biodiversity, global warming, etc., and has environmental, global, and literary significance. These texts not only focus on regional ecological realities, but also explore the universality and global nature of ecological issues. The environmental ideas in classic literary works have received attention from ecological criticism, and scholars have adopted historical and contextual strategies to explore environmental awareness and concepts. Contemporary environmental literature texts have cross linguistic and cross-cultural characteristics, such as the works of Caribbean and Indian writers, as well as the imagination of world environmental issues in Chinese science fiction. Cross linguistic practice explores the negotiation, translation, hybridization, and integration between different cultures, such as the cross linguistic practice of African Futurism. The translation and dissemination of environmental literature reflect its universality, such as the multilingual versions of Walden Pond and Silent Spring. The field of Western ecological criticism excavates ancient intellectual resources, such as the flood metaphor in the Bible, and draws on Chinese Taoist philosophy and ecological wisdom. The overseas translation and introduction of Chinese science fiction novels have promoted the international dissemination of Chinese writers' environmental concepts. The relationship between literature and global climate change has received attention, such as Puchner's "Literature on a Changing Planet" emphasizing the importance of stories in mitigating climate change, and Buell's concept of "global ecological emotions".

conclusion

Environmental world literature contains globally disseminated texts of profound environmental ideas, influencing writers of exotic cultures to write about the environment, involving cross lingual and cross-cultural environmental writing, as well as the development and interaction of climate change literary criticism. The Harvard School and Chinese scholars' discussions on the relationship between literature and climate provide methodological references for research. Environmental world literature is both a literary genre and a research method, an important object of ecological criticism, and a strategy for addressing climate change.
