This article provides a preliminary comparative analysis of environmental pedagogies in the context of widening spheres of citizenship due to intensifying globalization, with a particular focus on the East Asian context. In it, the authors specifically focus on Global Citizenship Education models and critical, Freirean-based ecopedagogies. The article includes analysis of research with expert scholars of citizenship and/or environmental pedagogies from six continents that focused on the intersectionalities between these two pedagogies and the effects of globalization on this work. The authors further explore the ways self-identified East Asian participants perceive differences in conceptualizations of citizenship between East Asia and the “West.”
