Abstract | Examining the intersection of civic engagement and environmental literacy is particularly timely because 2012 marked a critical juncture in history: the United Nations Literacy Decade ended, and a 20-year appraisal of the United Nation's Earth Summit commenced. The Literacy Decade, launched in 2003 under the slogan "Literacy as Freedom," situated literacy as a human right and a necessity for survival in today's globalized world. In a facile way, learning for the environment and civic engagement can be situated in capacity building for literacy. This chapter examines the connection between civic engagement and environmental literacy, positioning activism as central to their intersection. (ERIC). |
