- Abstract
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.
