Climatic factors in the MENA region affect the existential, societal, economic and political everyday life. With the gradual deterioration of the situation due to climate change, the question of security and survival of the population in this area arises, and thus of concrete political responses to the current situation. Water and food resources are becoming more scarce, while high temperatures and droughts put enormous pressure on governmental sectors. Securitizing a specific problem makes it a political priority. Given that environmental problems impose a major threat to the security of nation-states, the focus is on the process of securitizing climate change. The securitization theory helps us, within which we take a closer look at the rhetorical component and the way of addressing the mentioned threats. Even though, climate change is a global problem, this paper examines the MENA region which is visibly vulnerable and threatened. Because of their similar conditions, problems, but also different forms of government, the countries we will pay special attention to are Egypt and Jordan. Accordingly, the main research question is: can different forms of government in Egypt and Jordan affect the rhetoric of climate change securitization? We reveal incomplete securitization of climate change in both cases by analyzing and reviewing national documents, but also by discourse analysis of public appearances of individual stakeholders in the process.
