Background:

Islamic Jurisprudence and Environmental Law in Asia: Legal, Ethical, and Policy Perspectives

Asia is home to a significant proportion of the world’s Muslim population, and Islamic teachings have historically emphasized environmental stewardship through principles such as khalifa (guardianship), mizan (balance), and amana (trust). Meanwhile, many Asian countries face escalating environmental challenges, including climate change, deforestation, and pollution. This special issue aims to critically examine the intersection of Islamic jurisprudence and environmental law in Asia, analyzing how Islamic legal traditions shape environmental policies, governance, and ethical discourse across diverse national contexts.

Eligibility

Contributions may include theoretical analyses, empirical research, or comparative legal studies.
