The ecological crisis is no longer a field contested exclusively by environmental movements, scientists, or progressive forces. In recent years, various sectors of the far right have begun to appropriate environmental discourses, reframing them through nationalist, authoritarian, and exclusionary lenses. This ideological shift compels us to think more carefully about the relationships between ecology, social crisis, and political reaction.
The text offers a rigorous reflection on the ways in which certain reactionary discourses incorporate ecological elements without abandoning their deeply inegalitarian political core. Contrary to the simplistic assumption that the far right is necessarily “anti-environmentalist,” the article shows how environmental concerns can coexist with xenophobic, identitarian, or eco-authoritarian positions.
This issue has also been examined in recent research on the rise of “green nationalist” narratives in Europe and the growth of forms of eco-fascism or ecological nationalism.
Understanding how the far right contests and reshapes the meaning of ecology has become essential for thinking about democratic and emancipatory alternatives.
