New research by the IIFL reveals that British Hindus show the highest engagement in environmental actions among Britain's major faith groups, with many actively participating in eco-friendly practices like rewilding. The study highlights how Hinduism’s principles emphasize interconnectedness with nature, urging adherents toward environmental stewardship. In contrast, while significant numbers of Muslims and Christians similarly express theological obligations to protect the environment, these beliefs do not always translate into tangible actions. Key theological distinctions influence engagement levels, pointing to a deeper relationship between faith and environmental action.
