Abstract Investigating children’s beliefs and values toward threatened biodiversity can contribute to their understanding about nature and to the prevention of sociopolitical issues that may emerge when nature policy is being implemented. This study investigates children’s beliefs about threats to plants, the personal values associated with conservation, and actions children consider desirable regarding the conservation of three threatened plant species of Cyprus. Photos of threatened plants were used during interviews with 60 students (30 urban and 30 rural residents) aged 10–12 years. Results showed that participants deemphasized anthropogenic threats, while attitudes of individual responsibility were prevalent. Participants proposed actions of higher effectiveness mainly when they felt that they would be able to implement them. Findings suggest that an educational policy on threatened plant conservation should adopt a social character, focusing on attitudinal development and participatory learning approaches that will enhance children’s sense of ownership and efficacy.

Economic Dimensions of Environmental Citizenship
English
Slovakia
This chapter introduces economic approaches, studies and contributions to the global discussion on the relationship between economics and the environment. These relations are continuously influenced by the activity of individuals and communities. The social dimension is evident and mutual interactions between society and environment are investigated in many fields of science. Human deci-sions and behaviours have consequences for the environment which change in time and its resulting state impacts subsequent human attitudes and behaviour. Widely applied principles of mainstream economics face criticism from different platforms. This chapter also focuses on the argumentation of mainstream eco-nomics that are contrary to the more interdisciplinary economic approaches to environmental issues. The main contradictions in such a debate come from a dif-ferent value system of individuals. Through diverse stakeholder groups, the eco-nomic dimension of Environmental Citizenship stretches from a local to a global level. The transformation of economic systems requires an interdisciplinary ap-proach to overcome political and social barriers.
