Green nationalism has emerged as an environmentally oriented ideological reconfiguration of nationalism in response to the global challenges posed by climate change and ecological degradation. This study examines green nationalism within the framework of the sustainable nation, arguing that this perspective strengthens the epistemological foundations of green nationalism by offering a tangible and environmentally grounded conception of the nation. Key components such as green memory, green homeland and ideological citizenship are identified as integral to this vision. Adopting the theory adaptation approach, the study reinterprets existing theoretical frameworks in nationalism studies to articulate a model of green nationalism that aligns ecological values with national identity. It is argued that green nationalism presents a multidimensional ideological stance that promotes both national environmental responsibility and international cooperation. Moreover, the convergence of environmentalism and nationalism is proposed as a powerful catalyst for political consciousness and sociological transformation within nation-states. The integration of ecological values into national memory, the reimagining of national territory as a green homeland, and the institutionalisation of ecological citizenship are advanced as actionable elements of green nationalism's sustainable nation vision. The study concludes by underlining the transformative potential of this approach in reshaping environmental and political discourses.
