Dengan adanya penegakkan norma CBDR (Common but Differentiate Responsibility) oleh UNFCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), komunitas internasional, terutama negara-negara maju, semakin berfokus pada mitigasi dampak negatif perubahan iklim. Tesis ini kemudian mencoba untuk mencari arti penting dari proses pergeseran identitas ekologis nasional dalam studi ekonomi politik internasional, dengan mengemukakan sengketa perubahan iklim global. Walaupun dalam studi hubungan internasional, norma identitas ekologis belum sering muncul, sedangkan gagasan identitas sosial-politik dan kebangkitan lingkungan adalah salah satu gagasan umum yang sering digunakan. Namun, Jerman sebagai subjek analisis berkontribusi untuk memahami perubahan identitas ekologis yang dimiliki negara terutama selama pemerintahan Merkel, dengan menganalisa identifikasi diri negara atas identitas dan kekuatan struktur internasional, melalui Energiewende (peralihan energi) dan ekonomi pertumbuhan hijau (green economy growth). Untuk melakukan hal tersebut, pendekatan �Green� atau Hijau dan ide-idenya akan diperkenalkan untuk menunjukkan nilai-nilai dan norma-norma lingkungan yang diadopsi dalam perkembangan ekologi Jerman. Selain itu, pendekatan Eropanisasi juga digunakan untuk melakukan analisis pada pengaruh sistem internasional terhadap pembangunan ekologi nasional. Terakhir, tesis ini berpendapat bahwa pembangunan identitas ekologis Jerman dipengaruhi tidak hanya oleh kepentingan dan nilai-nilai aktor nasional internal, tetapi juga sistem dan norma internasional.

With CBDR Norms enforcement from UNFCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), the international community, especially the developed countries, put more focused on mitigating climate change negative impact. This thesis then tried to seek out the significance of transformation process of national ecological identity in international political economy study, by bringing up the global climate changes dispute. Even if in international relation studies, the norm of ecological identity has not emerged frequently, while the existence of notion of social-political identity and the rise of environmentalism as one of the common ideas that used more often. Nevertheless, Germany as the subject of analysis contributed to comprehend the ecological identity transformation that state possesses especially throughout Merkel governance, by examined the state self-identification of identity and the international structure force, through Energiewende (energy transition) and green economy growth. In order to do that, Green approach and its ideas were introduced to demonstrate the environmental values and norms adopted in Germany ecological development. Additionally, Europeanization approach was also utilized to performed the analysis on the international system influence to the national ecological construction. At last, this thesis argued that the construction of German ecological identity is affected not only by internal national actors' interests and values but also the international system and norms.
