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> IOP Publishing2022 eng Public HealthEnvironmental and Occupational HealthGeneral Environmental ScienceRenewable EnergySustainability and the Environment 1748-932610.1088/1748-9326/ac9296 1710 Hoffmann, C., Hoppe, J.
