Decolonizing and Transforming the Engagement of Indigenous and Black People Within Municipal Planning – Lessons Learned
In this paper, we present insights about the process and outcomes of an initiative designed to engage municipal staff with Black and Indigenous community members to develop a decolonial framework for community engagement within a mid-sized municipality in Southern Ontario, Canada. Grounded in the framework of Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing) the project aimed to disrupt dominant Western mental models, envision improved power-sharing in municipal urba…
Closing the equity deficit
There is growing recognition that often well‐intended climate action solutions perpetuate and exacerbate manifestations of colonialism and racism due to the lack of equity and justice considerations in designing and implementing these solutions. There is limited research exploring why the integration of these considerations are lacking in municipal climate action planning. This exploratory descriptive qualitative study explored how municipal acto…
Contributions, missed opportunities, and future directions
In this contribution to the 50th Anniversary Special Issue, the authors consider how global climate change and environmental sustainability have been addressed in the American Journal of Community Psychology ( AJCP ) over the last five decades. As we are increasingly exceeding critical planetary boundaries (global climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, etc.) with disastrous impacts on human well‐being—especially for peoples already …
Climate justice
The evolving climate crisis is demonstrating with unequivocal clarity that the dream of unlimited economic growth driven by ever-increasing material consumption is, in fact, ensuring a living nightmare for the human species. In this chapter, we will argue that as citizens of this planet, we need to collectively and quickly pursue a new pragmatic ideal: climate justice (CJ). We will draw on social and environmental justice frameworks and indigenou…

Fostering Systems Thinking for Youth Leading Environmental Change
More youth-based environmental engagement programs (EEPs) are needed to help combat the impact of climate change. Current programs just focus their content on individual-level personal practices (e.g., recycling); are designed to be implemented in one setting with little regard for broader implications or opportunities for contextual adaption; and collect little evaluative information about how programs are developed, implemented, and evaluated. …
The Youth Leading Environmental Change Project
Significant cultural transformations of the kinds that are needed to move our global society toward sustainability require youth to engage in environmental actions. These actions are more than just updating one's personal practice (e.g., recycling). They are “intentional and conscious civic behaviors that are focused on systemic causes of environmental problems and the promotion of environmental sustainability through collective efforts” (Alisat …
A Theory of Engagement for Fostering Collective Action in Youth Leading Environmental Change
Youth and young adults play an important role in creating a much-needed major cultural shift toward sustainability and environmental justice. Such social change is significantly advanced when youth engage in collective environmental actions that go beyond greening their own personal practice. Although significant progress has been made in recent years in our understanding of how to engage youth in environmental action, what is currently lacking i…
An Introduction to the Special Issue
Youth have the potential to play a key role in addressing the root causes of global climate change and in promoting a more sustainable local and global society. In this special issue, a group of scholars, representatives of community organizations, and young environmental leaders share what they have learned about engaging youth in six different countries in environmental action. The issue features Youth Leading Environmental Change (YLEC), a col…

A model for developing and assessing youth-based environmental engagement programmes
In this paper, we argue that a fundamental cultural shift is needed to effectively address anthropogenic causes of climate change. Evidence suggests that youth are well positioned to create such transformation. While various studies have contributed empirical evidence to numerous youth-based non-formal environmental engagement programmes, what is missing in the environmental education literature is discussion of a systematic approach to the devel…
We did it together
This article presents the perspective of both non-disabled and developmentally disabled people working together in a research project on poverty and disability. Our study used a participatory action research approach that challenges the norm of exclusion in the research process. Control of the research agenda has been inclusive and shared to varying degrees in accordance with the needs and desires of the members of an advisory committee of develo…

Experiences of Environmental Justice and Injustice in Communities of People Experiencing Homelessness
People experiencing homelessness have a particular vulnerability to environmental hazards, yet there is little attention paid to the issue of homelessness in environmental justice literature. The current study is a phenomenological inquiry into the experiences of environmental justice and injustice in a community of people who are experiencing homelessness. To understand how people who experience homelessness in the Waterloo Region, Ontario, comm…
Community Psychology and Global Climate Change
Global climate change is not just a distant environmental or future problem but a crisis that has a clear human face already causing the suffering of millions around the globe. It is an issue of high relevance for community psychologists and the communities we work with but has received little attention within the field of community psychology. This special section is intended to promote more thinking and dialogue on this important topic. Six art…
Power and Action in Critical Theory Across Disciplines
Although critical scholarship and community psychology share similar aspirations, the links between them remain unexplored and under-theorized. In this article we explore the implications of critical scholarship in various specialties for the field of community psychology. To understand the contributions of critical scholarship to a theory of power and action for social change, we conducted a systematic analysis of a ten-year period of publicatio…
