Abstract: The global phenomenon of climate change presents a significant challenge, with ramifications extending beyond ecological and economic domains to encompass cultural narratives and artistic expression. This paper examines the role of world literature in addressing climate change, focusing on the representation of environmental concerns in diverse literary works across cultures and historical periods. Through an analysis of eco-literature, climate fiction, and indigenous storytelling, this study demonstrates the capacity of literature to shape public perception and cultivate ecological consciousness.

Keywords: Climate fiction, Eco-literature, Indigenous storytelling, Sustainability in literature, human-nature relationship, speculative fiction.
