Abstract

This study aims to discuss about the role of digital citizenship for effective legal and political dimension of sustainability, in particular the safeguarding of the fundamental right to democracy. In this scenario, we intend to observe how citizenship has been influenced by new technologies, in order to reshape the individual's role in society giving possibility of more active participation in government decisions regarding the boosting of environmental issues. To do this, we use the hypothetical -dedutivo method of approach, trying to verify that the virtual instrument has made progress in democratic ideals of participation, through the exercise of a participative citizenship. It is also listed out the monographic procedure method of analyzing specific cases of participation in environmental matters. In place of conclusion, it is intended to demonstrate how digital citizenship can be innovative management in sustainability issues, revealing a new paradigm for participatory democracy.
