According to scientific data, one of the most urgent problems of humankind is climate change. While climate change discourses approach this issue in different ways, there is a distinct group of counterdiscourses, the climate delay discourses. The current thesis analyses these specific types within the context of far-right populist politics, more specifically through a critical discourse analysis of Viktor Orbán’s speech at the COP 29 climate summit in 2024. While the Hungarian government usually neglects climate change discourses and systematically weakens state and civil environmental institutions, this was a unique opportunity to scrutinize a coherent speech about climate issues from the Hungarian government. The thesis draws on the dialectical-relational approach to critical discourse analysis, and textual elements are analyzed, such as pronouns, passive verbs, nominalizations, modality, hyperboles, metaphors, and number game. The employed climate delay discourses were identified alongside the legitimation tactics used to justify the government’s position. The thesis shows that far-right populist rhetoric aligns well with climate delay discourses and can effectively utilize its elements.
