“…It also draws upon Ajzen's TPB, which posits that decision-making is driven by a rational evaluation of the outcomes associated with a particular behaviour. Individuals are motivated to avoid punishment and seek rewards; thus, the collective assessment of negative and positive consequences shapes one's attitude towards a specific behavioural option [32]. Numerous studies have also highlighted the significant influence of socioeconomic characteristics in predicting pro-environmental behaviours.…”

The significant contribution of building materials and emissions, accounting for approximately 40%, underscores the crucial role that buildings play in addressing climate change. Considering that buildings and transport are among the main contributors of energy-related emissions, Bahrain’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) increased from 16 (Mt/year) in 1990 to 54 (Mt/year) in 2020, which requires immediate attention. Pro-environmental behaviours play a significant role in reducing overall emissions and mitigating climate change. Therefore, this research aims to clarify the main factors influencing pro-environmental behaviour in the University of Bahrain campus, in order to create a strategic framework encompassing pro-environmental solutions working towards zero emissions. The problem is analysed through a mixed methodology based on a literature review, questionnaire and photographic analysis. The findings highlight the importance of several internal and external factors in relation to pro-environmental behaviour in higher education environments. The results provide valuable insights for stakeholders and decision-makers to implement change through green initiatives at a policy level.

“…There is an inequality between pro‐environmental knowledge acquisition and behavior (Zárate Rueda et al., 2023). Strong biospheric values make it more likely that someone will favor and behave in an ecologically responsible manner (Van der Werff et al., 2013).…”

IntroThere is an inequality between pro‐environmental knowledge acquisition and behavior. A change in behavior is required to solve both current and future environmental challenges since human behavior has an influence on pro‐environmental practices.ObjectiveOf the study was to carry out a critical analysis of current literature on Pro‐environmental practices among the Young population.MethodThe research question formulation on PICO served as the foundation for the search approach. Keywords were searched in different combinations from the popular databases SCOPUS, PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, EMBASE, Google and Cochrane library Boolean operators (AND and OR) and keywords were employed in the search to avoid oversaturating the data. Fifteen full‐text articles were selected for the study.ResultReview studies confirmed that youth engagement is highly valued, with evidence from increasing usage of information and communication technologies (education and environmental consciousness among young people. Analysis of pro‐environmental practices and environmental behavior has to be given greater attention considering to the adverse impacts of the existing lifestyle on the environment. This made it possible to incorporate and simultaneously explore a variety of variables and effects on environmental practices, furthering the understanding of how these are interpreted.ConclusionThis study pointed up and made contributions to the expanding field of environmental practices barriers. The challenges found should be taken into account in its entirety and utilized to directly inform policies and procedures in order to promote adoption for practices reduction and remove the obstacles inhibiting change.

Purpose This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of pro-environmental behavior (PEB) research within higher education institutions (HEIs), highlighting current trends and future challenges. Design/methodology/approach Using 198 journal articles from the Web of Science, the study conducts co-citation, bibliographic coupling and co-word analyses to map influential publications and forecast trends. Findings The co-citation analysis revealed three distinct clusters: value-driven environmental behavior, intention-based environmental behavior and green organizational practices and employee PEB. The bibliographic coupling and the co-word analysis revealed more nuanced clusters, holistically identifying academic activities towards PEB. The authors conclude that more strategic and PEB-oriented HEI’s actions are crucial due to the social responsibility of the universities for sustainable development. Originality/value This paper provides valuable insights into the expanding area of PEB research and climate leadership empowerment within HEIs. The practical implications of this research are significant for HEIs. It guides the creation of effective policies and interventions to foster sustainable behavior and reduce environmental harm. The study shows the development of educational programs and campaigns promoting sustainable practices among individuals and communities, emphasizing the role of HEIs in cultivating a sustainability-conscious generation.
