This interdisciplinary collection examines environmental activism as a global phenomenon shaped by local conditions and historical experience. Through case studies from different regions, the contributors trace how environmental movements respond to political systems, economic pressures, cultural values, and social inequalities.

Rather than presenting environmentalism as a single, unified movement, the book highlights its diversity—showing how ecological concerns intersect with labor, indigenous rights, development, and social justice. Shades of Green situates environmental activism within broader struggles over power, identity, and responsibility in a changing world.
