The four BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) have recently come under an environmental spotlight. These fast-growing and influential economies could become new sites for environmental activism to prosper. As the public have gained the wealth to meet their material needs, they tend to give stronger support to protecting the environment and participating in environmental movements. However, there are initial signs of declining confidence and membership in environmental organisations in BRIC countries. Caution is required when celebrating the emergence of environmental citizenship in the developing world. Further efforts are needed to address the interplay of improving economic conditions and enduring socio-political impediments in mobilising public engagement in collective environmental action
