Abstract

Environmental behavior arises from the interaction between humans and the environment. This interaction faces a myriad of environmental challenges. Addressing these challenges requires a deep understanding of environmental behavior, especially in light of climate change, which poses a fundamental threat to the global tourism industry. This study aims to investigate the dimensions of green behavior among employees (sustainability orientation, resource conservation, harm avoidance, influencing others, and initiative) and its role in mitigating climate change in the Egyptian tourism destination. To achieve the research objectives, a descriptive-analytical approach was adopted, and data was collected from a random sample of employees in the Egyptian tourism sector (tourism companies, hotels, airlines, the Egyptian Tourism Authority, the Ministry of Environment, tourist shops, and the Ministry of Tourism). A total of 396 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS V.20. The study found a statistically significant relationship between the dimensions of green behavior and climate change mitigation, with green behavior dimensions contributing 34.1% to mitigating climate change. The study recommended that tourism business managers implement green policies and practices and integrate the values of green behavior into their business activities, as they play a significant role in mitigating climate change. The study also recommended developing and innovating new approaches in green training and development by providing training courses to raise.
