Abstract [eng] The aim of the research was to determine the expression of civic initiatives, i. e. characteristic fields and measures of environmental communication. The analysis of scientific literature has revealed that civic initiatives in environmental communication often evidence through media strategy and media usage, electronic activity, demonstrations, consumer campaigns, judicial processes, discussions, debates, direct environmental activity, lobbying; scientific research, reports, statements; group actions and actions of local communities (Nimby, grassroots organisations). By identifying the fields of civic initiatives in environmental communication, it has been revealed that the key fields that acquire the greatest attention are resistance to nuclear power, genetically modified organisms, mitigation of environmental pollution and climate change, preservation of nature and fauna. Meanwhile, waste sorting and processing, consumption boom, obstacles of alternative energy resources consumption are the fields that still lack the attention of civic initiatives.
