“…Whereas the highest GHG in Africa is found in the NAC (Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco and Sudan), in addition to 40% of carbon emissions originating generated from African countries (Atlas, 2021; Engo, 2021; IEA, 2019). Therefore, these countries are more likely to be adversely affected by climate-changing more than other countries inside the African continent (Fadlallah et al ., 2022), which would be in opposition to international efforts to prevent dangerous climate change and reach net zero carbon by 2050 (Mańkowska et al ., 2023). The sample was gathered from North African passengers who traveled through Egyptian airports; given that Egypt is a major economic hub and has a well-developed aviation industry and infrastructure, it also represents a major producer of CO 2 in NAC.…”

“…In addition, NAC are the most significant contributor to the continent of Africa’s air transport in terms of passengers (AFRAA, 2021). Given that the airport sector contributes to climate change and that NAC is a major contributor to global CO 2 emission (Fadlallah et al. , 2022), it can be argued that promoting environmentally friendly behavior in airports could eventually lead to a reduction in NAC’s large effect on CO 2 emission (Haouraji et al ., 2021).…”

PurposeDrawing on the reasoned action theory, this study aims to examine the impact of environmental knowledge (EK) and environmental sustainability performance (EP) on environmental behavior (EB) mediated by environmental attitude (ATT). Furthermore, to examine the moderating effect of environmental advertising (ADD) on the indirect relationship between EP and EB, mediated by ATT on the one hand, and EK on EB, on the other hand, mediated by ATT.Design/methodology/approachThe data were gathered within an international context for passengers from North African countries (NAC) (Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco and Sudan) using primary quantitative data from online and self-administered questionnaires. A total of 1,052 questionnaires were collected from passengers who traveled through Egyptian airports. The collected data were analyzed through covariance-based structural equation modeling.FindingsThe findings indicated that ATT moderates the relationship between environmental knowledge and behavior. In addition, ATT mediates the airports' environmental behavior and environmental sustainability performance. Moreover, ADD moderates the indirect association between EP and individuals' environmental knowledge and behavior through the mediated effect of ATT.Research limitations/implicationsThis research output will help extend the theory’s scope by conceptualizing its abstract ideas using research variables and applying them in NAC countries. This can be a milestone for altering individuals' behavior toward the environment in airports.Practical implicationsThis study aims to assist airport authorities in the development of standards for enhancing environmental performance. Enhancing environmental issues is of utmost importance, especially in the context of airports, which have been a subject of significant environmental concern. This study examined the environmental practices of airport passengers in NAC, given their significant role as the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions on the African continent. The present approach has the potential to be utilized in modifying airport conduct and enhancing stakeholder engagement, specifically within the context of NAC.Social implicationsThe objective of this study is to enhance the relationship between nature and humans by endeavoring to modify human attitudes toward the environment. The objective of this initiative is to bridge the current disparity in the socio-environmental connection by fostering environmental consciousness among individuals who utilize airport facilities. The objective will be accomplished by the construction of a theoretical framework that integrates crucial elements acknowledged for their substantial influence on altering human attitudes, thus fostering a greater sense of environmental consciousness and ultimately improving societal well-being.Originality/valueSince the global supply chain prioritizes environmental transportation systems, this study provides a conceptual framework for airport authorities to develop and create policies to push air passengers' behavior toward environmental practices in NAC.

This paper investigates an experimental study of photovoltaic PV modules behavior (SM110-24) connected to the low-voltage grid (230 V / 50 Hz) with a three-phase inverter. In order to ensure maximum power point tracking (MPPT), The input voltage is delivered via a DC/DC converter that is controlled by the Fuzzy Logic Technical FLC to ensure maximum power MPPT. The control system of the setup is designed for the extraction of maximum power. The primary aim of this investigation is to synchronize the two sources namely PV-grid, using the Phase Locked Loop PLL command with the injection of an alternating current into the network whose aim is stabilizing the system and minimizing the cost of the energy consumed by the load. In this study, the authors have taken into account the real kWh price of the Algerian society of distribution of electricity (Sonelgaz) as the basis for their research. The simulation results obtained by utilizing the MATLAB software show that the proposed system exhibits high performance and flexibility, indicating its potential usefulness for practical applications in the future.
