    This study examines how climate change is framed in Asian English-language newspapers through a corpus-assisted ecolinguistic lens. It analyzes media discourse from 2015 to 2024, focusing dominant narratives and frames. The study uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze patterns in media language. It focuses on identifying the linguistic choices and ecological stories that contribute to either constructive or destructive environmental narratives. Five key frames emerge from the data: the agency frame, crisis frames, green growth frame, governance frame, and war frame. These frames reflect underlying ideologies and shape how climate change is communicated across the region.
