ABSTRACT
We begin by examining some of the main forms, struggles, and debates among environmental groups around the world, whose diversity is reflected at the World Social Forums. We then consider the possibilities for the environmental movement(s) to emerge as a major transnational force. Despite the differences among environmentalists, we find that the World Social Forum (WSF) allows these activists to find common ground in their struggle against environmental degradation, particularly as it is
linked to unfettered global capitalism. The case of environmentalism at the Forum suggests that activists engaged in different struggles-not exclusively environmental-and from different regions of the world are being brought together in what seems to be an emerging diverse, yet unified, movement of movements.
