Description
Catherine E Bowen, Konrad Pędziwiatr, Marcin Stonawski, and Vegard Skirbekk surveyed 150 Muslim religious leaders across twenty-nine countries about climate change, a constituency with unusual power to move public opinion. Their 2026 exploratory study asked imams, teachers, and seminary students what they believe about the climate, how often they raise it in religious work, and what actions they would champion.
Nearly everyone agreed the climate is changing, but only about half blamed humans mainly, and half saw substantial harm already. Most said Islamic values oblige environmental protection and that leaders should do more. Support ran high for green technology and government spending, but low for dietary change or smaller families. The gap between belief and pulpit practice is the study's headline opportunity.
