Abstract

This paper investigates how Indonesia’s Islamic modernist movement, Muhammadiyah, is responding to issues such as environment degradation, global warming and climate change. Muhammadiyah has not adopted the ecology paradigm used by Islamic environmentalism group, focusing instead on theological reform and social and economic welfare and justice, but members of its elite have begun inserting ecological concerns into the organisation’s programmatic orientation. This paper argues that, although these efforts are not well organized and maintained, they have enormous potential to transform Muhammadiyah into a right-green organization, as demonstrated through its progressive initiative on the environment and its efforts institutional and theological reform (fiqh of water) and in its involvement in judicial review of state policy (known as ‘jihad konstitusi’/judicial review) as political advocacy practice. However, the main feature of Muhammadiyah’s environmental activism is its continued emphasis on economic justice rather than on building ecological security and conservation movement.

Abstract

Amid the threat of a triple planetary crisis (climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss), the Waste Charity Movement (Gerakan Sedekah Sampah or GSS), initiated by Muhammadiyah, can be considered the praxis of liberation ecotheology under banner green Islam. Developed collectively, it responds to this crisis while promoting social-religious responsibility and economic solidarity. This article demonstrates how Muhammadiyah’s GSS as preliminary initiative actively advances waste management in Indonesia. Drawing on discourse analysis of Muhammadiyah affiliated media, this study illuminates the involvement of Islamic organizations in waste charity initiatives. It offers two key implications: theoretically, it highlights Muhammadiyah’s contribution to addressing planetary crises through education and empowerment within waste charity; practically, it proposes a novel pedagogical approach to mitigating these crises.
