A growing body of research stresses the importance of religion in understanding and addressing climate change. However, so far, little is known about the relationship between Muslim communities and climate change. Globally, Muslims constitute the second largest faith group, and there is a strong concentration of Muslims in regions that are particularly affected by global warming. This review synthesizes existing research about climate change and Muslim communities. It addresses (a) Islamic environmentalism, (b) Muslim perceptions of climate change, and (c) mitigation strategies of Muslim communities. The analysis shows that there is no uniform interpretation of climate change among Muslims. Based on their interpretations of Islam, Muslims have generated different approaches to climate change. A small section of Muslim environmentalists engages in public campaigning to raise greater concern about climate change, seeks to reduce carbon emissions through sociotechnological transition efforts, and disseminates proenvironmental interpretations of Islam. However, it remains unclear to what extent these activities generate broader changes in the daily activities of Muslim communities and organizations. Contributions to this research field are often theoretical and stress theological and normative aspects of Islam. Empirical studies have particularly addressed Indonesia and the United Kingdom, whereas knowledge about Muslim climate activism in other world regions is fragmented. Against this backdrop, there is a need for comparative studies that consider regional and religious differences among Muslims and address the role of Muslim environmentalism in climate change mitigation and adaptation at the international, national, and local scales.

穆斯林与气候变化:伊斯兰教,穆斯林组织和宗教领袖如何影响气候变化观念和减缓活动

越来越多的研究强调宗教在理解和应对气候变化中的重要性。但是,到目前为止,对穆斯林社区与气候变化之间的关系知之甚少。在全球范围内,穆斯林构成第二大信仰团体,穆斯林集中在受全球变暖影响特别严重的地区。这篇综述综合了有关气候变化和穆斯林社区的现有研究。它涉及(a)伊斯兰环境主义,(b)穆斯林对气候变化的看法,以及(c)穆斯林社区的缓解策略。分析表明,穆斯林之间对气候变化没有统一的解释。根据他们对伊斯兰教的解释,穆斯林产生了不同的应对气候变化的方法。一小部分穆斯林环保主义者参加了公众运动,以引起人们对气候变化的更大关注,试图通过社会技术转型努力来减少碳排放,并传播对伊斯兰教义的环保解释。但是,目前尚不清楚这些活动在多大程度上在穆斯林社区和组织的日常活动中产生了更大的变化。对这一研究领域的贡献通常是伊斯兰的理论和强调神学和规范方面。实证研究特别针对印度尼西亚和联合王国,而其他世界地区对穆斯林气候行动主义的知识却是零散的。在这种背景下,
