Past research shows that global citizenship identification is associated with endorsement of environmental sustainability. However, prior studies used a short, two-item measure of environmental sustainability. In the present study we examined identification with global citizens and endorsed motivations and attitudes related to environmental sustainability with longer and multidimensional measures, arguing that global citizenship identification is, indeed, positively related to dimensions of environmentalism. The results showed that global citizenship identification was positively related to measures regarding intrinsic motivation toward environmentally-friendly behaviors, human interconnectedness with the environment, and endorsement of policies and government action toward protecting the environment. Together, the results strongly support the connection between global citizenship identification and motivation and attitudes in support of environmental sustainability.
