The ongoing ecological crisis in the modern era demands a serious response from the world of education, including Islamic Religious Education (PAI). Generation Z, who lives within a digital culture, faces a dual challenge : an abundance of environmental information on one hand, yet weakened ecological sensitivity on the other. This article aims to examine the concept of ecotheology-based PAI learning, the challenges of its implementation, its effectiveness in building ecological ethics for Generation Z, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors for its optimization. The study employs a library research approach with a descriptive-qualitative analysis method applied to various relevant scientific sources. The findings indicate that ecotheology-based PAI learning integrating ecological tawhid, khalifah fil ardh, amanah, and mizan is more effective in developing students' spiritual-ecological consciousness compared to conventional approaches. Contextual, project-based, and digital media-assisted learning models have proven effective in enhancing Generation Z's ecological understanding, attitudes, and actions. However, several obstacles persist, such as the dominance of lecture-based teaching methods, limited ecotheological competence among teachers, and insufficient supporting facilities. This article affirms that reconstructing PAI learning toward transformative ecological praxis is a strategic step in addressing the environmental crisis and shaping a generation that is both religiously grounded and committed to the sustainability of the earth.
