Abstract

This chapter explores the intricate relationship between climate change and public diplomacy, focusing on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and its hosting of COP28. It examines the UAE's strategies to shape global perceptions and advance its national interests through climate diplomacy, highlighting the complex interplay of sustainability and authoritarianism. The text delves into the UAE's efforts to balance its role as a major climate polluter with its vision of becoming a leader in sustainability, showcasing its green public diplomacy initiatives and their impact on global climate governance. The chapter also discusses the implications of the UAE's approach for the democratic principles underpinning the global climate regime, offering a critical perspective on the role of authoritarian regimes in international climate politics.
