               <jats:p>An individual’s relation to time may be an important driver of pro-environmental behaviour. We studied whether young individual’s gender and time-orientation are associated with pro-environmental behaviour. In a controlled laboratory environment with students in Germany, participants earned money by performing a real-effort task and were then offered the opportunity to invest their money into an environmental project that supports climate protection. Afterwards, we controlled for their time-orientation. In this consequential behavioural setting, we find that males who scored higher on <jats:italic>future-negative</jats:italic> orientation showed significantly more pro-environmental behaviour compared to females who scored higher on <jats:italic>future-negative</jats:italic> orientation and males who scored lower on <jats:italic>future-negative</jats:italic> orientation. Interestingly, our results are completely reversed when it comes to <jats:italic>past-positive</jats:italic> orientation. These findings have practical implications regarding the most appropriate way to address individuals in order to achieve more pro-environmental behaviour.</jats:p>}},
