This study aims to explore and characterize the main obstacles that hinder the reduction of environmental pollution in the Republic of Yemen from the perspective of faculty members at Sana’a University. The study adopts a descriptive survey approach and relies on a questionnaire as its primary research instrument.
The findings revealed that the overall severity level of the obstacles and causes impeding the efforts to reduce environmental pollution was “high”, with a mean score of 4.28 and a standard deviation of 0.63. The results also indicated statistically significant differences at the level of (p < 0.05) in the severity of the obstacles according to the variable of years of service. Faculty members with 11–20 years of experience reported higher mean scores compared to those with fewer years of service. However, no statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were found in the severity level of obstacles related to gender, academic rank, qualification, or specialization.
The study concluded with several recommendations, the most important of which are:
- Organizing awareness campaigns within and outside the university to highlight the risks of pollution and methods for its reduction.
- Promoting applied scientific research.
- Supporting university research that focuses on innovative solutions to pollution problems, such as recycling, renewable energy, and sustainable agriculture.
