Climate Change Issues in Saudi Elementary Schools: An Analysis and Suggestions for Islamic Studies Textbooks
Religious Education, v119 n5 p354-362 2024
Aligning with the Saudi Green Initiatives and sustainability, I analyzed elementary Islamic Studies textbooks for climate issues to inspire discussions on adding climate change to religious education. The analysis found a lack of climate change references. Five topics where climate change could be integrated were identified: the rain-invoking prayer, recognizing Almighty Allah through His signs, the blessing of water, "Ehsan," and environmental stewardship. Incorporating climate change discussions and activities into these topics, along with providing comprehensive teacher training and emphasizing empathy and positive change, could help students understand how their faith's teachings are relevant to addressing global challenges.
