Islamic Law and Climate Justice

توضیح

یادداشت: عنوان فارسی: حقوق اسلامی و عدالت اقلیمی.
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it will be necessary for the world’s leading fossil fuel producers to decouple their economies from sources primarily responsible for the continued rise in global temperatures. Some of these economies include nations whose laws and society are dominated by Islamic jurisprudence, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Other nations such as Indonesia, while not strictly governed by Islamic law, also have a large portion of society which accepts fatwas and other sources of Islamic law as a code of conduct for their behavior. It is therefore useful to examine whether Islamic law offers any means for incentivizing actors into engaging with the green transition. This includes, in particular, whether and to what extent we could look to Islamic law as a means of enshrining climate justice within the legal framework of a pan-Islamic society.
