“…A meta-analysis carried out in environmental behavior experiments has shown that individuals with desirable ecological behaviors are often more inclined to partake in environmentally friendly activities [112]. In addition, several experiments have established a positive association between customer's attitude and buying intent [38,48,[113][114][115].…”

“…Aman et al [121] described environmental concern as consumers' emotional dispositions, i.e., anger towards the degradation of nature. Various authors have linked environmental concern to environmentally friendly behavior [47,48,[121][122][123]. The study of Irawan and Darmayanti [122] indicated that Indonesian university students' green consumer behavior is highly affected by environmental concerns, whereas Albayrak et al [123] found in their research in Turkey that environmental concern is a strong predictor of behavioral intention.…”

“…A couple of studies [42,43] analyzed the marketing mix responsible for Bangladesh's progress regarding the customer's attitude towards green marketing. The other existing studies primarily deal with issues of organic foods [44,45] and the green buying behavior of grocery product [46][47][48]. Second, in the consumer behavior analysis, two prominent models were commonly found: one is the theory of reasoned action (TRA) model [49], and the other is the theory of planned behavior (TPB) [50], which is an extension of TRA and includes few constructs.…”

“…As such, the inclusion of these factors may fill the attitude-intention-behavior gap. Fourth, the past studies conducted in Bangladesh [46][47][48] did not investigate complex relationships such as mediation, which seems necessary when the model failed to explain the action gaps. Ashraf et al [44] tested the mediating relations but ignored the mediator role of attitude between the perceived environmental responsibility and buying behavior.…”

The unsustainable operations of producers account for significant carbon emission and subsequent adverse impacts on nature. This study aims to identify the factors that influence consumers’ green buying behavior. The research focuses on the exploratory testing of theories using standardized questionnaires and interviews. Using a convenience selection approach, questionnaire surveys were used to gather primary data from a sample size of 305. The sample demographic reflects people who often make purchases; data were also obtained from shopping centers and elsewhere. The hypothesis testing of variables measured via five-point Likert scale questions was performed using structural equation modeling. We applied closed-ended questions relating to green buying behavior for the convenience of respondents. The empirical result established the effects of attitude, perceived severity of environmental problems, environmental concern, and subjective norms on Bangladeshi consumers’ green buying behavior. Additionally, it was discovered that attitude mediates the association between the perceived environmental responsibility and green buying behavior. Therefore, the government should play a constructive role in educating the public and promoting green business initiatives through improved coordination and legislative intervention.

“…Our paper contributes to the literature in several ways. First, most of the studies have focused on the factors of low-carbon purchasing behavior such as sociodemographic, psychological, and contextual factors (Rahnama and Rajabpour, 2017;Zahan et al, 2020;Zhao et al, 2020). Our study contributes to that literature by focusing instead on the effect of low-carbon purchasing behavior on other pro-environmental behaviors.…”

Low-carbon purchasing behavior is the core part of low-carbon consumption behavior. Its impact on low-carbon use behavior, recycling behavior, and garbage sorting behavior needs to be further clarified. Based on self-perception theory and cognitive dissonance theory, this paper constructs a theoretical model of the spillover effect of low-carbon purchasing behavior on low-carbon use behavior, recycling behavior and garbage sorting behavior through self-efficacy and environmental self-identity. This paper uses the Bootstrap method to analyze 494 valid questionnaires empirically. The results show that: low-carbon purchasing behavior has a significantly positive effect on low-carbon use behavior, recycling behavior, and garbage sorting behavior. Self-efficacy and environmental self-identity play partially parallel mediating roles in the spillover effect. The mediating effect of environmental self-efficacy is stronger than environmental self-identity between low-carbon purchasing behavior and low-carbon use behavior. The mediating effect of self-efficacy is weaker than environmental self-identity between low-carbon purchasing behavior and recycling behavior or garbage sorting behavior. The spillover effects are different in demographic variables. The spillover effect of men is more substantial than women. The spillover effect of residents in 18–44 years old is more significant than residents in other age groups. The spillover effect of married residents is the largest. Residents with a bachelor’s degree have the most significant spillover effects on recycling behavior and garbage sorting behavior than residents with other educational levels. Professional and technical personnel have the most considerable spillover effect than other occupation types. The spillover effect is the largest when the family have three members. The spillover effect of residents with a monthly household income of 6,000–8,000 yuan is the largest between low-carbon purchasing behavior and low-carbon use behavior.

The concept of sustainable consumption has gained significant attention in international policy discussions. In order to achieve sustainable consumption, it is essential to thoroughly comprehend the underlying causes of current unsustainable consumption patterns and the associated challenges in transitioning to more sustainable practices. This research, employing perspectives from international political economy and psychology, elucidates that unsustainable consumption is rooted in a combination of systemic and individual factors. Systemic factors encompass unequal exchange relations, lack of efficient telecoupling framework, political and ecological trade‐off dilemma. Individual factors include unsatisfied needs, insufficient environmental concern, and low self‐efficacy. Drawing upon these findings, this study presents a comprehensive set of macro and micro‐level policy recommendations for achieving sustainable consumption and a more equitable and sustainable future.
