ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the concepts of environmental and ecological citizenship. Discussion explains why ecological citizenship can help address five challenging issues that are associated with multiscale, complex environmental problems: political agency (how citizens should think and act to enhance environmental security and promote ecological wellbeing); justice (which ideas of justice should inform decisions and actions over the long term); knowledge (what information citizens need to be able to live sustainability); decision making (how decisions should account for densely interconnected human and non-human relationships ); and transformation, (why significant system change is needed to enhance the wellbeing of people and ecosystems).
