The mediating role of pro-environmental attitude and intention on the translation from climate change health risk perception to pro-environmental behavior

Climate change is a serious environmental issue appearing in China. As a public service institution operating around the clock, the negative impact of hospitals on the environment is evident, promoting their workers’ pro-environmental behavior (PEB) through increasing climate change health risk perc...
