<![CDATA[The construction of the climate crisis narrative in the state addresses of the Presidents of the Republic of Indonesia for the 2001–2024 period uses the Fantasy Theme Analysis (FTA) approach within the Fantasy Theme Analysis (FTA) framework. This study aims to reveal how the state constructs meaning about climate change through dramatic elements such as scenes, characters, and plots in state addresses and how these narrative changes reflect the dynamics of environmental politics in Indonesia. The method used is qualitative interpretative with text analysis of approximately twenty state addresses from the eras of Megawati Soekarnoputri, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and Joko Widodo. The results show a significant shift in the construction of the climate crisis narrative in each leadership period. In the Megawati era, environmental issues were positioned as ecological vulnerabilities in the context of national recovery. In the SBY era, the narrative evolved into climate leadership that positioned Indonesia as a global actor in environmental diplomacy. Meanwhile, in the Jokowi era, climate issues were integrated into the green pragmatism narrative oriented towards economic transformation and industrial downstreaming. This shift shows that the issue of climate change is not static, but rather is politically constructed according to development priorities and government legitimacy strategies. This study concludes that the state address serves not only as a medium for policy communication but also as an instrument for shaping rhetorical visions that influence how the public understands the climate crisis. Thus, Fantasy Theme Analysis (FTA) proves relevant for studying environmental political communication in developing countries, particularly in examining the relationship between narrative, power, and policy legitimacy.]]>
