The article extends existing research on the issue of environmental awareness in the tertiary education space. The aim of the article is to identify relevant activities for building the university’s environmental identity and environmental awareness in the European area. The results of the research confirmed that the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations are being used in selected public universities, with activities focusing mainly on emissions, water, energy, food, waste reduction and recycling, finance, transportation, social responsibility, sustainability policies and strategies, and student/employee participation. The questionnaire survey showed that the topic of green activities at Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica (MBU) for employees is very important or important. Experts generally consider the most important strategic documents that reflect the current and future situation and respond to the idea of sustainable development for future generations, cooperation with other institutions and organizations, including active participation in environmental awareness-raising activities.

In recent decades, reports of deforestation, mass extinctions, biodiversity loss, and emergencies like floods and droughts have clearly highlighted the impact of human activities on climate change. This underscores the need for significant lifestyle changes to mitigate this impact. Pro-environmental behavior (PEB) change involves adopting actions that protect the environment and reducing environmentally harmful activities to promote sustainability. While qualitative research may provide unique insights into PEB barriers that are challenging to capture through quantitative methods, reports of qualitative studies are scattered across different literatures with little integration. With the present review, we bring together qualitative studies on PEB barriers and examine whether those studies reveal barriers compatible with existing barrier frameworks from environmental psychology. We identified 38 qualitative studies on barriers to PEB change. Our analysis revealed that most of the barriers to individual pro-environmental action identified in qualitative studies align with environmental psychology frameworks. These barriers were experienced not only by individuals in their role as consumer or citizen, but also by community-level actors (e.g., seeking to implement pro-environmental policies) and industrial decision-makers (e.g., aiming to reduce the ecological footprint of their business activities). Our findings underscore the multifaceted nature of barriers to PEB change and emphasize the importance of addressing structural and institutional factors alongside individual-level interventions.
