A reflective and analytical approach demonstrates that religious values, such as moral and spiritual responsibility towards nature, can play a crucial role in enhancing ecological awareness and motivating collective sustainable actions. Based on a review of various religious values and traditions, the article identifies three key findings: (1) religious teachings can strengthen intergenerational responsibility in environmental preservation; (2) integrating religious values with ecological principles creates a more effective holistic approach to mitigating environmental crises, and (3) interfaith and interdisciplinary collaboration catalyzes significant social change.
