This paper explores the relationship between pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) and environmental awareness, knowledge, attitudes, risk perceptions activism in South Africa. To achieve this goal, 2010–2012 data from International Social Survey Program “Environmental III” was analysed by means of descriptive inferential statistics, including employment structural equation model. Significant differences were found other variables such as concern, willingness to sacrifice, others terms educational background, place living, ethnic identity provinces where respondents lived.
