Abstract

This study aims to develop a conceptual framework of Green Islamic Education by integrating Islamic environmental ethics into Islamic Religious Education (IRE) to strengthen environmental responsibility and support sustainable development. The study employs a qualitative library research method through conceptual analysis and synthesis of relevant literature on Islamic environmental ethics, Islamic education, environmental education, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and ecological pedagogy. The findings demonstrate that Islamic education can foster environmental responsibility through the principles of tawhid, khalifah, amanah, mizan, maslahah, and the prohibition of environmental destruction. The analysis further shows that these principles become pedagogically effective when integrated into curriculum, experiential and project-based learning, environmental literacy, institutional culture, assessment, and community engagement. The novelty of this study lies in proposing an integrated Green Islamic Education framework that connects Islamic theological values, environmental literacy, transformative pedagogy, sustainable behavior, institutional practice, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within IRE. The framework positions environmental responsibility as an integral dimension of Islamic faith, character formation, and educational practice
