As the second-largest followed religion, Islam traditionally has general teachings about protecting the environment. In the context of climate change these traditional teachings have crystallized in the form of non-binding declarations. These traditional and new perceptions have been manifested as promotive force in the behavior of Islamic actors, including Muslims, Islamic ngo s, Islamic stats, and international Islamic organizations to combat climate change. The question is, have Islamic teachings been able to be effective in the practice of Islamic countries in achieving the goals of the climate change law? Analyzing of the latest report of oic (2021) indicates that, despite the increasing vulnerability of Islamic countries to the effects of greenhouse gas emissions, their greenhouse gas emissions have increased. It is concluded that despite the extensive participation of Islamic countries in international climate change meetings and documents, due to the economic problems, secularity of the government and the continuous effects of colonialism on them, Islam has had an ineffective role on the final result; Because, their approach to climate change is subject to economic and political considerations and not Islamic teachings. Therefore, to create a promotive role for Islam in realizing the goals of climate change law, more attention should be paid to the economic and political considerations of Islamic countries.
