CONCEPTUALIZING ENVIRONMENTAL CITIZENSHIP FOR 2...

This Open Access book is about the development of a common understanding of environmental
citizenship. It conceptualizes and frames environmental citizenship taking an educational
perspective. Organized in four complementary parts  the book first explains the political 
economic and societal dimensions of the concept. Next  it examines environmental citizenship as
a psychological concept with a specific focus on knowledge  values  beliefs and attitudes. It
then explores environmental citizenship within the context of environmental education and
education for sustainability. It elaborates responsible environmental behaviour  youth activism
and education for sustainability through the lens of environmental citizenship. Finally  it
discusses the concept within the context of different educational levels  such as primary and
secondary education in formal and non-formal settings. Environmental citizenship is a key
factor in sustainability  green and cycle economy  and low-carbon society  and an important
aspect in addressing global environmental problems. It has been an influential concept in many
different arenas such as economy  policy  philosophy  and organizational marketing. In the
field of education  the concept could be better exploited and established  however. Education
and  especially  environmental discourses in science education have a great deal to contribute
to the adoption and promotion of environmental citizenship.
