Sažetak
In last several years there are growing evidence concerning biodiversity loss, tropical deforestation and desertification, and the effects of climate change due to anthropocentric activities. Re-thinking of our social and economic actions, re-evaluating of all the concepts, and exploring of all the social factors which are relevant to mitigation of climate change and further environmental degradation are increasingly on the public agenda. This implies a change in the social metabolism, as well as expectations and aspirations, behaviours and attitudes of the majority of the global population. To understand the interaction of human and environmental systems it is also required to explore religious dimensions which could influence the relationship between societies and eco-systems. Hence, the growing research on the relevance of religion to environmental issues and of ecological challenges has emerged into a significant interdisciplinary field. Existing research on the level of personal religiosity and pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours seems insufficient and with mix findings. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between individual religiosity (religious attendance and confessional belonging) on one hand and pro- environmental behaviour and attitudes (behavioural patterns, material sacrifice willingness, and attitudes of concern about the environment) on the other hand. On the base of the ISSP research module Environment survey data from 2010/2011, the paper will analyse these relationships from the comparative perspective of 19 European countries.
