This study examines the coverage of the United Arab Emirates’ National Climate Change Plan in Al Khaleej, one of the major Arabic daily newspapers in the country, by analysing a selection of articles covering this plan using analytical concepts and methods from CDA and drawing upon theories of media framing and green growth and green economy. The results show that the Climate Plan is presented as a metaphoric unifier of existing climate policies and a tool to promote the UAE as a pioneer in renewables. The issue of climate change in general is framed as a challenge to economic growth, but a challenge that can be overcome through technological innovation and redirecting the economy.
