In recent years the question on how to deal with the climate change became a central policy field. New Movements as Fridays for Future emerged to challenge climate politics globally. The form of the socio-ecological transformation is contested and will be a central reference point for social conflicts in the coming years. Not surprisingly, far-right actors are also positioning themselves in these struggles. The positions range from eco-fascist nature mysticism to climate change denial to unconditional support for the fossil fuel industry. The discussion will look at these phenomena, classify the different neo-right positions and explore possibilities for emancipatory action in these struggles.
