“…Research shows that carbon emissions in individuals’ daily lives account for 80% of the global total carbon emission [ 3 ]. Therefore, given the massive scale of carbon emissions and the continuous accumulation of environmental pressure, it is necessary to improve individuals’ low-carbon awareness and boost individuals’ low-carbon behavior through their daily life choices [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Low-carbon behavior includes using energy-saving appliances, turning off appliances when they are not in use, as well as other actions that help build a low-carbon society [ 7 ].…”

Environmental problems caused by excessive carbon emissions are becoming increasingly prominent and have received heightened attention in recent years. Encouraging people to adopt low-carbon behavior to reduce carbon emissions is desirable. Based on social learning theory, we developed and tested a moderated mediation model to investigate when and how environmentally specific servant (ESS) leadership impacts employees’ low-carbon behavior (i.e., private low-carbon behavior and public low-carbon behavior). We tested our theoretical framework with a sample of 483 subordinates and their direct supervisors working in northern China. The results indicate that ESS leadership is positively related to employees’ low-carbon behavior, and that environmental self-accountability plays a mediating role in this relationship. In addition, power distance orientation strengthens the direct effects of ESS leadership on employees’ environmental self-accountability and low-carbon behavior, as well as the indirect effect of ESS leadership on private low-carbon behavior via environmental self-accountability. Our findings contribute to the literature surrounding ESS leadership and low-carbon behavior, and help to promote green development and thus achieve the goals of carbon neutrality and decreasing carbon dioxide emissions.

“…In environmental concern, a person shows awareness about the risks to the environment and natural resources based on their concerns, interests, and disinterests [35]. Huang and Gao [36] found that alternatives with low carbon emissions are most likely to influence travelers' intentions. Further, Gkartzonikas and Gkritza [37] observed a higher intention to use AVs among individuals with environmental concerns.…”

The integration of automation and shared mobility services would significantly affect transportation demand, especially mode choice. However, little is known about how attitudes, travel attributes, and demographic factors affect the modal shift to shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs). A stated preference survey was designed to determine the preferences of car and transit users in relation to a modal shift to SAVs. The binary logit models’ results revealed distinct behavior patterns and systematic heterogeneity among transit and private car users based on a representative sample of 607 individuals in 2021. The shifting behavior of both users is positively affected by attitudinal factors, including consumer innovativeness, perceived usefulness, sharing intention, and ecological awareness, while negatively affected by privacy concerns. In terms of travel-related attributes of SAVs, car users are eight times more sensitive to waiting times compared to transit users, who are three times more concerned with travel costs. Further, privacy concerns, the number of passengers sharing a trip, and the ratio of waiting time to travel time of SAVs were the major barriers to shifting the likelihood of car users’ behavior. In light of these findings, based on the likely effects of SAVs on shifting behavior, a number of practical implications are suggested for more effective policy making.

“…Three major domains, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours, serve as the fundamental components of literacy [8,10,[18][19][20]. Researchers have recognised that these domains are integral to low-carbon literacy [9,13].…”

“…They indicate that policies instituted alone cannot support long-term success in personal modal shifts. The challenge is the need to enhance the volitional behaviour of commuters [8]. Therefore, individuals' knowledge of and attitudes towards low-carbon issues are among the most pressing challenges facing exhibition management.…”

While low-carbon and environmentally friendly construction by the exhibition industry has gradually improved, there is a lack of relevant research on whether exhibition-relevant personnel have corresponding low-carbon knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours to jointly assume the responsibility of developing low-carbon exhibitions. This research draws on the literature regarding low-carbon literacy and applies it to the exhibition industry to preliminarily assess the level of low-carbon literacy in China. A questionnaire was formulated through expert surveys and a pre-test. During the formal investigation, 412 valid questionnaires were obtained from exhibitors at seven Chinese exhibition events. The results revealed seven important dimensions of low-carbon literacy in exhibitions, namely, altruistic behaviour, values, low-carbon sensitivity, locus of control, low-carbon knowledge, low-carbon consumption, and action strategies. Low-carbon knowledge and low-carbon sensitivity ranked at the bottom, and middle- and high-level managers and exhibitors with large booth areas exhibited relatively insufficient performance regarding some low-carbon literacy factors. Based on the results, insights for exhibition management and future research directions are proposed in this paper.
