“…As such, there are emotional (such as concern for the group) and behavioral (such as prosocial and cooperative behavior) implications of social identity. Six other articles implicitly referred to the social identity theory: Although the social identity theory was not explicitly mentioned, the definitions of global identity based on the social identity theory were cited, and the studies considered the same attributes and implications of the theory (e.g., Leithead and Humble, 2020 ). In total, we observed that 22 articles referred to the social identity theory when explaining why global identity was expected to be associated with PEB and EC.…”

“…One of the nine measures was an established measure: the “Local-Global Identity” measure by Tu et al (2012) used in two studies ( Ng and Basu, 2019 ; Kim et al, 2021 ). The remaining eight measures were created solely for use in specific studies ( Iwata, 1996 ; Russell and Russell, 2010 ; Strizhakova and Coulter, 2013 ; Barth et al, 2015 ; Janmaimool and Khajohnmanee, 2020 ; Leithead and Humble, 2020 ; Furlong and Vignoles, 2021 ; Aydin et al, 2022 ) and were not used in other studies on this topic.…”

Global issues such as environmental problems and climate change, require collective efforts. Global identity has been linked to the promotion of pro-environmental behavior by international and environmental organizations. In environment-related research, this all-inclusive social identity has been consistently related to pro-environmental behavior and environmental concern, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This current systematic review seeks to examine past studies across disciplines that have reported findings on the relationship between global identity and the constructs of pro-environmental behavior and environmental concern and to synthesize findings on the potential pathways behind this relationship. Thirty articles were identified through a systematic search. We found that most studies reported a positive correlation, and the effect of global identity on pro-environmental behavior and environmental concern was stable across studies. Only nine of the studies empirically examined the underlying mechanisms of this relationship. Three major themes of these underlying mechanisms emerged: obligation, responsibility, and relevance. These mediators highlight the role of global identity in pro-environmental behavior and environmental concern via how individuals relate to other humans and how they appraise environmental problems. We also observed a heterogeneity in measurements of global identity and environment-related outcomes. As a topic of interest in multiple disciplines, a variety of global identity labels have been adopted, such as global identity, global social identity, humanity identity, Identification With All Humanity, global/world citizen, connectedness to humanity, global belonging, and psychological sense of global community. Self-report measures of behavior were common, but observations of actual behavior were rare. Knowledge gaps are identified, and future directions are suggested.

“…Leithead and Humble [69] draw on Davies' et al [70] conceptualization of global citizenship and have applied the model of Reysen and Katzarska-Miller [71] to assess self-identification of children in Ghana as global citizens. The model assesses normative environment, global awareness, global citizenship identification, intergroup empathy, valuing diversity, social justice, environmental sustainability, intergroup helping, and responsibility to act on global issues.…”

Despite continued efforts by educators, UN declarations and numerous international agreements, progress is still limited in handling major global challenges such as ecosystem collapse, accelerating climate change, poverty, and inequity. The capacity to collaborate globally on addressing these issues remains weak. This historical review of research on global learning for sustainable development (GLSD) aims to clarify the diverse directions that research on GLSD has taken, to present the historical development of the research area, and highlight emerging research issues. The review summarizes key findings of 53 peer-reviewed publications, published in English in the period 1994–2020 identified with the search terms “global learning” and “sustainable development”, sustainability or GLSD, respectively. The review documented a gradually growing knowledge base, mostly authored by scholars located in the global North. Conclusions point to what we might achieve if we could learn from one another in new ways, moving beyond Northern-centric paradigms. It is also time to re-evaluate core assumptions that underlie education for sustainable development more generally, such as a narrow focus on formal learning institutions. The review provides a benchmark for future reviews of research on GLSD, reveals the emerging transformative structure of this transdisciplinary field, and offers reference points for further research.
