“…Enhancing the collection of data on naturally occurring behaviors might increase the chance to collaborate with several non-governative organizations, industrial partners, or public institutions ( Lange et al, 2023 ). Such collaborations have provided results that sometimes are in strong contrast with the ones derived from self-reports ( Berger et al, 2022 ) or that can provide a more strong scientific basis for the behavioral feasibility of technological innovations. Notwithstanding these limitations, due to these positive initial results, it is essential to ensure equity in terms of access to digital tools and at the same time spread digital literacy across all groups in society, in terms of upskilling and reskilling of people.…”

Sustainability research has emerged as an interdisciplinary area of knowledge about how to achieve sustainable development, while political actions toward the goal are still in their infancy. A sustainable world is mirrored by a healthy environment in which humans can live without jeopardizing the survival of future generations. The main aim of this contribution was to carry out a systematic mapping (SM) of the applications of digital technologies in promoting environmental sustainability. From a rigorous search of different databases, a set of more than 1000 studies was initially retrieved and then, following screening criteria based on the ROSES (RepOrting standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses) procedure, a total of N = 37 studies that met the eligibility criteria were selected. The studies were coded according to different descriptive variables, such as digital technology used for the intervention, type of sustainable behavior promoted, research design, and population for whom the intervention was applied. Results showed the emergence of three main clusters of Digital Technologies (i.e., virtual/immersive/augmented reality, gamification, and power-metering systems) and two main Sustainable Behaviors (SBs) (i.e., energy and water-saving, and pollution reduction). The need for a clearer knowledge of which digital interventions work and the reasons why they work (or do not work) does not emerge from the outcomes of this set of studies. Future studies on digital interventions should better detail intervention design characteristics, alongside the reasons underlying design choices, both behaviourally and technologically. This should increase the likelihood of the successful adoption of digital interventions promoting behavioral changes in a more sustainable direction.

“…The search engine for this study was restricted to airline carbon offsets related, and any other types of willingness to pay to offset from industries or other transportation are excluded from this study. The existing research by [3] explained that the most significant finding in the published literature on reducing flight-related emissions is that no single study used actual willingness-to-pay as its dependent variable but instead relied on hypothetical assessments of willingness-to-pay (stated preferences technique). Even though the question asked in the survey remind respondent to put a figure on their actual financial situation, it will never represent passengers' actual behavior when answering the question because the effectiveness and efficiency of the program are unseen.…”

“…A carbon offset is a reduction of carbon emissions or other greenhouse gases made by individuals to invest in environmental projects such as replanting the tree, reforestation, supporting renewable energy usage, and using energy-efficient products. Before the COVID-19 pandemic began, aviation accounted for an estimated 2.8% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions [3,4]. In Malaysia, the number of carbon emissions contributed by the transportation sector is 20.4% of overall sectors in Malaysia [23], and the distribution from domestic and international flights in Malaysia (operated by resident airlines) is shown in Figure 1 [24].…”

Airline industries have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread to nearly every country worldwide. Multiple countries have imposed travel restrictions to halt this virus’s spread. This precarious situation has significantly impacted the airline industry, reducing passenger volume, flight frequency, and airline flow patterns. Although most scholars have examined changes in passenger volume before and during the COVID-19 outbreak, none of it has been done in Malaysia. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on airline passengers’ willingness to pay for carbon offset decisions and the value of willingness to pay among Malaysians. The research employed a scenario-based experiment with 150 respondents as the samples. Convenience sampling was adopted and was analyzed using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) via STATA version 16. The results showed that Malaysian airline passengers are willing to pay for carbon offset even as many have stopped flying due to COVID-19, with a mean value of RM20.68. This study also revealed that most passengers are still aware of climate change, even though not many are flying during the endemic. The psychological changes in air travelers caused by the pandemic are examined, with managerial and policy implications for the pandemic’s normalization of the pandemic and the airline market’s recovery in the post-pandemic period.

“…This is because flying does not just release CO2, but it also affects the climate in a lot of other ways. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, about 2.8% of the world's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions came from aviation (Berger et al 2022 andLe Quéré et al 2020). 20.4% of all carbon emissions in Malaysia come from the transportation sector (Worldmeters, 2023), as seen in Figure 1.…”

The study examines Malaysian airline passengers' travel behaviour and perceptions during the endemic Covid-19 after Malaysia re-opened the border. People are free to do an activity, especially travelling by aeroplane. Data were collected through an online platform in 2023. 390 data were obtained and used for the analysis. Findings reveal that 86.15% of Malaysian have travelled by aeroplane since the endemic, and 14.10% have travelled more than five times. 54.44% strongly agree they will avoid travelling with aircraft because of a few personal issues. In addition, results revealed a significant change in passengers' behaviour and perception when travelling after the hit of Covid-19 worldwide.
