The climate crisis is no longer just a question of crisis, but a question of rescue. In 2019, the word of the year in the Oxford Dictionary became the term climate emergency. Ecolinguistic schools are popping up, such as the one founded by Arran Stibbe, who teaches about the necessary shift in language resources. So how do we begin to talk about what lies ahead in relation to the climate crisis? Which ecolinguistic resources to use? Since when can we talk about ecolinguistics? Why is ecolinguistics an important element of discourse, especially in the Czech-Polish linguistic field? This article focuses on ecolinguistics in the Czech-Polish environment, on its terminological definition, as well as on the genesis of the discipline in Polish and Czech linguistics and Czech linguistics. The research material consists of the texts of banners striking against the climate crisis in Poland and the Czech Republic. The result of this work is an analysis of environmental discourse and its comparison in both countries.
