CGES Online Event

Previous research has repeatedly shown that various populist far-right parties (PFRPs) engage in some form of resistance to climate action. To better understand their approach to climate related issues, this presentation examines how established PFRPs in Germany (AfD), Spain (Vox), and Austria (FPÖ) frame and interpret climate change in their political communication. Although PFRPs have achieved notable electoral success across Europe, mainstream parties continue to play a dominant role in shaping public discourse. Ultimately, the findings reveal that climate obstructionism is neither uniform nor confined to the political fringes, but a complex and transnational phenomenon rooted in a wider right-wing alliance.
