A comprehensive review of urban ecosystem services underscores the crucial role of cities in climate mitigation through sustainable practices and the incorporation of green infrastructure to enhance resilience and mitigate environmental impact. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report explains the dual nature of rapid urbanisation, highlighting its potential to drive economic growth and development while posing challenges such as increased pollution, inadequate infrastructure, and heightened vulnerability to natural disasters (Palanivel, 2017; Weiskopf et al., 2020; Zhang et al., 2020). It can be demonstrated that regular participation in pro-environmental activities by members of urban populations can contribute to the advancement of sustainable urban development. The collective engagement of citizens in pro-environmental behaviours can drive transformational change through a collective effort towards sustainability. Furthermore, the pursuit of sustainability can be achieved through a collaborative approach, with the collective actions of citizens playing a vital role. These behaviours have been demonstrated to reduce environmental degradation and promote sustainability. Furthermore, they have been shown to promote social cohesion, community ties, sustainable norms, and environmental benefits. Implementing sustainable practices has been demonstrated to result in economic benefits, improved resource utilisation, and enhanced environmental performance.
