进行了一项探索性混合方法研究，以调查英国基督教、穆斯林和世俗（非宗教）社区人们的环保价值观和信仰的潜在差异。该研究探讨了宗教如何在新生态范式（NEP）范围内塑造对主题的看法，包括人类与环境之间的关系（Dunlap、Kent、Mertig 和 Jones，2000）。这项研究还探讨了宗教信仰和价值观如何影响对以下方面的看法：(a) 气候变化； (b) 碳捕集与封存（CCS）技术的可接受性。穆斯林和基督教参与者对气候变化和 CCS 技术的看法是由环境管理和代际正义的重要性决定的。由于相信来世和神圣干预，这两个群体对环境问题（尤其是气候变化）的紧迫性认知度相对较低。由于有关管理、和谐价值观和自然内在价值的教义，穆斯林参与者接受 CCS 被认为是有问题的。 CCS 对于基督徒参与者来说问题较小，他们表现出以人类为中心的价值观，并根据支持人类福利的程度评估环境问题和技术解决方案。世俗参与者表达了对环境问题，特别是气候变化的焦虑。由于缺乏对来世或神圣干预的信仰，导致世俗参与者关注人类责任和采取行动的必要性，从而增强了包括 CCS 在内的一系列技术的必要性。 (C) 2014 年作者。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版
An exploratory mixed methods study was conducted to investigate potential differences in the pro-environmental values and beliefs of people from the UK Christian, Muslim and secular (non-religious) communities. The study explored how religion might shape perspectives on themes within the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale, including the relationship between humans and the environment (Dunlap, Kent, Mertig, & Jones, 2000). This study also explored how religious beliefs and values might influence perspectives on: (a) climate change; and (b) the acceptability of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies. Muslim and Christian participants' opinions about climate change and CCS technologies were shaped by the importance of environmental stewardship and intergenerational justice. Both groups had relatively low perceptions of urgency for environmental issues, particularly climate change, due to beliefs in an afterlife and divine intervention. Acceptance of CCS for Muslim participants was considered problematic due to teachings on stewardship, harmony values and the intrinsic value of nature. CCS was considered less problematic for Christian participants, who demonstrated anthropocentric values and evaluated environmental issues and technological solutions in relation to the extent to which they supported human welfare. Secular participants expressed anxiety in relation to environmental issues, especially climate change. Lack of belief in an afterlife or divine intervention led secular participants to focus on human responsibility and the need for action, bolstering the perceived necessity of a range of technologies including CCS.
