Abstract

Abstract

Green low-carbon development with sustainability has become a global consensus. The dual-carbon goal of carbon emission peak and carbon neutrality proposed by China as the largest developing country is a solemn commitment to build a community with a shared future for mankind. The Chinese mainstream international media is an important window for the international community to understand China’s implementation of the dual-carbon goal, and an important position to fight for the right of discourse on public opinion on green transformation. This study draws upon the transitivity, the theme, quotation practice, and conceptual metaphor to analyze the eco-discourse of 10 English-language news reports on dual-carbon in the mainstream Chinese international media. This study proves that the “diversity and harmony, interaction and co-existence ecosophy” underpins the reports and thereby establishes an ecosophy of “establishing the new before breaking the old, breaking the boundary before undergoing a rebirth” for the discourse of double carbon. This study hence investigates the flexibility and operability of a systematic integration between systematic functional linguistics and discursive analysis, expands the dimension of China-specific ecosophy, and refines China’s “double carbon” discursive system both theoretically and practically.
