Abstract. The shifting geopolitical and ecological circumstances surrounding climate change are contributing to the strengthening of 鈥済reen nationalisms鈥� around the world 鈥� including in authoritarian states. This talk explains the rise of green nationalism in the UAE, where state-led discourse now uses sustainability tropes to reframe the country鈥檚 national identity and values as 鈥済reen.鈥� Based on research about the UAE鈥檚 sustainability agenda since 2018, I show how top-down green nationalist storylines are transmitted through institutional, policy, and events landscapes in the years leading up to and including the UN COP28 climate talks in Dubai in December 2023. Emirati political elites are now using green nationalism to cultivate symbolic capital domestically and internationally and, in so doing, legitimate their authoritarian hold on state power 鈥� a growing global challenge, as authoritarian countries are more motivated by regime durability than joining the global community for urgent climate action.
