Ecological citizenship: co-designing sustainable transitions

This research paper examines ecological citizenship (EC) as a practice for empowering individuals and communities to achieve climate neutrality through shared responsibility for sustainability and social equity.

• The authors identified seven key dimensions of ecological citizenship (EC) using a mixed-methods approach involving workshops and roundtable discussions. This multidimensionality allows EC to address climate issues at both local and global scales.
• Participatory approaches centered on legacy, place, and people can enable more individuals and communities to participate in positive climate action and co-create solutions for the climate.
• The adoption of EC practices may be hindered by a lack of structural and social innovation. Because EC relies on inclusion, local knowledge, and cooperation, it requires teamwork between the private and public sectors.
