This document provides a framework for integrating ecological literacy, civics literacy, and environmental citizenship in environmental education. It discusses that environmental education involves ecological literacy and civics literacy. Ecological literacy is defined as using ecological understanding and thinking for enjoying the environment, while civics literacy is using understanding of social systems for participating in society. Environmental citizenship is defined as having the motivation, awareness, and ability to apply ecological and civics literacy to take action. The document proposes a framework with five overlapping components for developing environmental citizenship: ecological literacy, civics literacy, values awareness, self-efficacy, and practical wisdom/skills. It argues this framework provides multiple entry points and is not a simple linear process.
