摘要：Environmental movements are a special social movement against environmental injustice, as well as a political conflict regarding environmental issues. To understand the motivation to participate in environmental movements, it is necessary to explore the role of governments in environmental management Using the cross-sectional data from the China General Social Survey (CGSS) in 2013, the author estimates the asso-ciations between participation in environmental movements and satisfaction with governments in environmental management. Results show that participation in envi-ronmental movements is not associated with individual satisfaction with the central government but is significantly associated with individual satisfaction with the local government when demographic and socioeconomic characteristics are adjusted in models. This finding suggests that public satisfaction and trust in local governments' environmental governance can promote the public to participate in environmental protection activities. This study also reflects that Chinese individuals believe the local governments can undertake the responsibility of environmental management, sug-gesting that the central and local governments reach a consensus on environmental management in China.
