ABSTRACT
The science-based policy approach to climate change gained significant momentum when the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to scientists for their groundbreaking research on the Earth's complex climate system. However, scientific evidence supporting climate change remains insufficiently accepted by some segments of the population. This article presents an alternative strategy for raising collective awareness of climate change by exploring Islamic perspectives on environmentalism. As the country with the largest Muslim population, Indonesia has the potential to adopt the principle of Green Deen, an Islamic philosophical approach to environmental protection. A systematic literature review was conducted to examine Islamic views on environmental stewardship, supported by scientific theories and data on climate change. The findings reveal that Islamic teachings emphasise the responsibility of humans to sustain life on Earth and pursue justice to maintain balance in nature. This concept aligns with scientific interpretations and can strengthen public awareness of climate change. From a policy perspective, the results suggest that educational curricula should integrate practical examples of climate change within religious and science education. Combining Islamic principles with science-based learning can effectively promote sustainable practices to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
