“…Since the 1970s, the environmental movement in the United Kingdom has experienced widespread growth in the number of organizations working on environmental issues ranging from environmental conservation and protection to climate change (Berny & Rootes, 2018; Hilton et al, 2012). However, there is a lingering concern among ENGOs over the appropriate strategies for accumulating the organizational resources required to survive over time (Berny & Rootes, 2018). Such concerns have been amplified by ENGO leaders who believe that they may lose up to two-thirds of their funding as a result of Brexit.…”

“…The second wave of the environmental movement began in the 1970s, with a change in focus from environmental protection to addressing the consequences of industrial pollution (Dalton, 1994; Saunders, 2012). This wave included the founding of new organizations (such as Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace) as well as an increase in the organizational resources (income and membership) available to groups working on environmental issues (Berny & Rootes, 2018; Hilton et al, 2012).…”

Environmental nongovernmental organizations (ENGOs) need resources in order to mount campaigns and ensure their stability over time. What is the most effective strategy to attract these resources? Building upon research on social movement strategy and resource mobilization, we examine how a diversity of income sources, tactics, and issue focus affects three measures of mobilization outcomes: income, staff, and members. We examine these relationships using a unique panel data set of ENGOs in the UK collected by the Environmental Funders Network in 2013 and 2016. Our analyses show that using a more diverse range of tactics in wave 1 is associated with mobilizing more staff and members in wave 2. However, there is no significant penalty or payoff for groups that engage in issue or income diversification. We argue that diversifying tactics benefits organizations by helping them accrue the necessary human resources required for environmental action.

“…Greener discourses may also be signaling alliances with non-governmental organizations (Influential non-governmental organizations such as Greenpeace remain reluctant or openly critical to join the dominant discourse coalition of sustainability. Instead, they support survivalist and green radical discourses [45]) to help companies to understanding regulation and compliance [85][86][87][88]. These alliances may not only spur improvements in performance but also changes on firm's corporate discourses that [89] calls intertextuality: the adoption of fragments of 'alien' discourses as a signal of new coalitions [90].…”

This paper is focused on analyzing the characteristics of firms that have environmental performance beyond the requirements of regulation in environmental protection. To identify such characteristics, we propose a value and context model building on environmental paradigms as conceptualized by Dryzek’s environmental discourse theory. Using multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) to analyze data collected from a multi-respondent survey of Argentinean polluting firms, we identify distinctive characteristics of firms going beyond regulation and firms that do not comply with regulation. In particular, comparing with other five environmental discourses, endorsement of green growth is evaluated in its connection with compliance patterns. We find that supporting green growth discourse (also known as ecological modernization) is one of the characteristics of those firms that go beyond compliance in their environmental performance.

“…Pada tahun 2020, total sampah yang masuk ke laut Indonesia diperkirakan mencapai 521.540 ton (Sucahyo, 2021b). Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM) di bidang lingkungan terus bergulat, serta seakan kurang menarik dan didukung di bandingkan LSM di bidang lainnya (Berny & Rootes, 2018). Pertanyaan yang muncul adalah mengapa sebagian kelompok masyarakat kurang peduli terhadap masalah lingkungan, sedangkan sebagian lainnya sangat peduli dan berusaha keras menjaga lingkungan alam.…”

The relationship or closeness between humans and the natural environment is a psychological construct that can be used to overcome environmental problems nowadays. Nature Relatedness Scale (NRS) is a questionnaire used to measure the relationship between humans and the natural environment, which is proven to be related to pro-environment behavior. However, there are no studies that have adapted and analyzed the structure of NRS in Indonesia, so that it can be used for studies on environmental psychology in Indonesia. This study aims to test the construct validity and reliability of NRS Bahasa Indonesia using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with a sample of Indonesian people (N= 174). The result shows that NRS Bahasa Indonesia has the same factor structure as the original NRS, namely: NR Self, NR Perspective, and NR Experience and can be used in research with a population of Indonesian people. NR Self and NR Experience have good construct reliability and validity, while NR Perspective has moderate construct reliability and validity. The potential of the NRS to investigate pro-environmental concerns and behavior, as well as suggestions for further research are discussed.
