“…Telephone surveys were used to collect the data in three years, from 2015 to 2017. The impact of social norms on climate change mitigation readiness in the transportation sector was investigated in Namagembe (2021). Analysis of data collected from shipping and bus transport firms showed that social norms influenced readiness for climate change mitigation.…”

Purpose This study aims to assess readiness for climate change mitigation in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Design/methodology/approach Two stages were followed aiming at understanding the situation related to climate change mitigation in Bahrain and assessing the mitigation readiness. Baseline and mitigation scenarios for the period 2019–2040 were developed using the Low Emissions Analysis Platform software based on historical emissions and energy data for the period 1990–2018. Using the analytic hierarchy process, the mitigation readiness was assessed by 13 experts, and priority areas for mitigation action were identified. Findings CO2e emissions are projected to grow continuously. However, no explicit climate change strategy is in place yet. Mitigation is tackled implicitly through energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives. These initiatives can make 23% reduction in CO2e emissions by 2040. Adopting additional measures is needed to achieve the recently set emission reduction target of 30% by 2035. The findings revealed potential areas for improving mitigation efforts in Bahrain. Priority areas for mitigation actions, as identified by experts, were mainly related to policy and governance. Focus needs to be paid to the social aspect of climate change mitigation. Originality/value Literature on mitigation readiness in developing countries is sparse. Knowledge of the requirements for climate change mitigation and assessment of the country’s performance can prioritize areas for improving mitigation action. Several lessons can be learnt from the case of Bahrain. In addition, the adopted methodology can be applied to other developing or Arab countries at local or institutional levels. However, its application to specific sectors may require adjustments.

“…Today's consumer is ecologically conscious therefore they are showing more ECCB than ever before (Mondal and Samaddar, 2021), which is equally relevant in ridesharing. After the awareness and adoption of electric, solar, and CNG vehicles, consumers have begun to care more about the environment (Namagembe, 2021). Thus, when consumers have a high BAw about ridesharing and have an intention to use ridesharing, the ECCB can moderate the relationship.…”

“…Environmental consciousness motivates the consumer to shift to renewable energy. Ridesharing firms have gained market share by catering brand and environmental concerns of consumers (Namagembe, 2021). Hence, rideshare consumers are emphasizing brand (Ratnasari et al, 2023) and environmental concerns over price (Bala et al, 2023;Mondal and Samaddar, 2021).…”

PurposeThis study focuses on Aaker's Brand Equity Model, to check the effect of brand equity determinants on booking intention (BI) for ridesharing in India. The study also explores the moderation of ecologically conscious consumer behavior (ECCB) on the multiplicative effect of brand awareness (BAw), brand association (BA) and perceived quality (PQ) in influencing the BI.Design/methodology/approachResponses from 393 Indian ridesharing users were collected using judgmental sampling and were analyzed using Hayes Process macro.FindingsThe study found a direct relationship between BAw and BI, BAw and BA, BAw and PQ, BA and PQ, PQ and BI, and BA and BI. Findings revealed mediation of BA in BAw and BI relationship and PQ in BAw and BI relationship. Results revealed that BA and PQ serially mediate BAw and BI relationship. ECCB moderates PQ and BI relationship but not BAw and BI relationship.Research limitations/implicationsSerial mediation and moderated-mediation results draw various theoretical implications for determinants of Aaker's Brand Equity model and ECCB.Practical implicationsThe research has several implications for managers in view of brand equity determinants and ECCB. The study also contributes to policy implications.Originality/valueStudy's novel contributions are mediation, serial mediation between brand equity determinants, and moderation of ECCB between BAw and BI for ridesharing.

“…In the managers of shipping firms, social norms positively affect climate change. The environmental purchasing intentions and attitudes significantly mediate the relationship between social norms and climate change mitigation readiness (Namagembe, 2021). Alzaidi and Iyanna (2021) underline the development of voluntary pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) in the workplace on four constructs, namely, attitude, personal norms, perceived behavioural control and perceived corporate social responsibility.…”

“…Henceforth, the study would be valuable in reducing the hazardous impact of climate change through developing PEB. In developing countries like Pakistan, managers face zero or low monetary cost problems to tackle the environmental and climate change problems (Namagembe, 2021). Henceforth, creating environmental awareness in behavioural interventions on climate change among individuals would develop positive attitudes towards climate change, resulting in an eco-friendly environment.…”

PurposeThe study investigates the intention to adopt climate change and the pro-environmental behaviours among the residents of a developing country (Pakistan) through the theory of planned behaviour (TPB).Design/methodology/approachThis is a quantitative designed study and uses a questionnaire to collect cross-sectional data. The authors distributed about 1,600 questionnaires, of which 980 were returned; this represented a 61% response rate.FindingsFrom applying the PLS-SEM 3.0 technique, the findings highlight the positive and significant impact of attitudes towards climate change (ATCC) and subjective norms (SN) on the intention to adopt climate change (ITCC). On the other hand, perceived behavioural control (PBC) has an insignificant effect on ITCC. Moreover, the ITCC is a significant predictor of pro-environmental behaviour (PEB). Finally, ITCC has a positive effect in mediating the relationship between TPB constructs (ATCC, SN and PBC) and PEB.Practical implicationsThis study's findings assist policymakers in designing policies and better plans to enrich the individuals' vision and attitudes towards creating a conducive and healthy environment. Further, this study's findings encourage the promotion of widespread intentions to overcome the environmental challenges of climate change.Originality/valueIn the context of Pakistan, this study's findings offer empirical confirmation of TPB, climate change and PEB.
