Using Tilly's definition of ‘ad hoc social movements’, this study employs protest‐case analysis in order to bring to the surface the differences and similarities between grassroots environmental activism and community‐based environmental movements as they appear in post‐dictatorial Greece, Portugal and Spain. The analysis centres on community‐group profiles, networks, action and claim repertoires concerning the source of environmental degradation, the damage created, and the wider socio‐economic and environmental impacts. Implications are drawn for the debates regarding environmental movements in Southern Europe and the future of the environmental movement
