‘Environmental Citizenship’ is an intervention in a growing body of
scholarship that seeks to redefine what it means to be a citizen – not merely of
a nation, but of a planet. The contributions to this collection frame
environmental citizenship as a plural, relational, and deeply political practice
that, as its history unfolds, must continually reckon with its own exclusions in
order to imagine sustainable and more just futures.

Regarding environmental citizenship as an evolving conceptual framework, one
that extends beyond anthropocentric, Euro-American, and state-centered
paradigms, the essays in this volume respond to the need to ground the concept
in relational thinking – across species, geopolitical boundaries, and academic
disciplines – in order to reconsider what it means to act, belong, and care
within a more-than-human world.
