Video
Abstract
The world now faces severe environmental issues due to the rapid growth in population in the developing world. Population growth contributed to increased human activities and caused adverse to the three pillars of sustainability: social, environmental, and economic. Ecological crises, including climate change, depletion of ozone layers, waste production, acid rain, and deforestation, are among the problem caused by human activities.  Among all the causes of human activities on the environment, consumption has been put under the spotlight. Consumer's current purchasing habits are destroying habitats and endangering future generations' lives, including non-human beings. Consumption is now recognized as a potent driver of unsustainable development. Religion and environment share similar phenomena where religious systems influence human interaction with the biosphere, and religious traditions change with the changing environment. Religions emphasize the importance of conserving the biosphere and the need for interfaith cooperation to promote sustainability and develop sustainable communities. However, most of the previous research corpus has neglected the influence of religiosity. Therefore, this study aims to explain the nexus of religiosity and sustainable consumption. The present study will focus on Islam, as Malaysia is categorized as a Muslim-dominated country. This study extends the extant research on sustainable consumption behavior by amalgamating the VBN theory and Islamic Eco-Theology.
