This volume offers a timely exploration of ecocriticism in an era marked by climate change and environmental injustice. This interdisciplinary volume brings together global voices from literature, environmental studies, and cultural studies to examine how literary texts shape, reflect, and challenge our relationship with the natural world. Spanning diverse genres and cultural contexts, the chapters address themes such as environmental ethics, climate fiction, plant-human relationships, and the imaginative power of literature to envision sustainable futures. Accessible yet scholarly, this collection of essays is an essential read for students, educators, researchers, in ecocriticism, global literature, and the environmental humanities. It is a valuable resource for university courses and a vital addition to academic and public libraries worldwide.
