Abstract	Purpose: This study aims to build a model for the analysis of the environmental behavior of university students. Design/methodology/approach: A partial least square method was adopted, and a questionnaire on intelligence, knowledge, attitude and environmental behavior was performed on 480 Spanish university students. Findings: The results indicate that environmental intelligence positively affects university students' environmental behavior through environmental knowledge and attitude. Research limitations/implications: The conclusions of the present study are based on a sample drawn from Spanish university students. Therefore, new studies are needed to cover other educational institutions and cultural contexts. Practical implications: Many university students' environmental behavior depends on implementing educational actions that improve their environmental intelligence and knowledge. Social implications: The study suggests that educational programs should implement strategies that maintain a sense of responsibility toward the sustainable development of university students, ensuring that future generations can live a quality life in a sustainable and safe environment. Originality/value: The present study identifies the mechanism through which the environmental behavior of university students is formed. (As Provided).
