With a certain degree of idealization, we could mark 2019 as a year of environmental awakening or a year of environmental citizenship. The increasing impacts of the environmental crisis have led to mass activism and worldwide demonstrations against the lack of active approach of the political elites towards the environment, but also against the carelessness of individuals. However, this positive development has changed significantly since the beginning of 2020 as a result of the global spread of a new and imminent threat. This paper focuses on examining the essence of the environmental citizenship and analyses its rapid rise over the last year, accompanied by a significant shift in environmental responsibility acceptance. Consequently, it analyses how the manifestations of the newly and massively acquired sense of responsibility for the planet and the lives of future generations have changed with the emergence of the global pandemic crisis threat, and how these changes and the minimization of human interactions with the environment were manifested on it. The findings lead us to confirmation of the considerations that the most effective changes in favour of the environment lead through the minimizing of human impact on it – through the retreat.

The Anthropocene period has brought an unprecedented expansion of civilisation and enormous technological advances leading to a highly interconnected world. However, all this has come at the expense of the environment. The exploitation of nature along with the reckless and predatory life of humans have gradually led to the emergence of a global environmental crisis which, even with all the means and decades of efforts of the world community, has not been solved or even necessarily mitigated. The paper seeks to highlight and examine the significance of the emerging concept of environmental citizenship in the context of Anthropocene and the deepening environmental crisis, building on the fundamental features of classical citizenship, mainly its unifying potential, which led to the rise of its global dimensions. The emphasis is also partially focused on environmental political responsibility, which is in line with our core concept. Findings point to the growing potential of environmental citizenship to avoid the catastrophic predictions based on maintaining the current status. We argue that environmental citizenship should be seen as a possible basis for a necessary change in the organisation of society, which inevitably requires an active political approach.
