The role of the media is at the center of the climate crisis, as they are responsible for the dissemination of information on a large scale, indicating future choices for society. From this, the article discusses scholarship in environmental sociology in relation to risks, reflexive modernity and environmental knowledge, locating these concepts at the basis of the discourses that circulate socially. The article analyzes a special news report from Época magazine on the coverage of Rio + 20, which was held in Brazil, in order to understand how the discourse on climate change articulates the notion of the future (possible pathways) and the underlying human-nature relationship. Based on Discourse Analysis as developed by Michel Pêcheux and on Constructivist Theories of Journalism, it uses the notion of discursive framework as an analytical device. Época magazine framed its discourse trough an emphasis on the Green Economy, a key notion from hegemonic discourses. However, it also presented some elements of eco-social background. Hence, an Eco-technocratic Discursive Formation was identified as dominant but "lightly" traversed by an Eco-social Discursive Formation.
