This study uses a qualitative methodology through the analysis of relevant literature and compares it with the Islamic legal framework. The results of the study show that zakat funds can be used to support sustainability projects such as environmental conservation, natural resource management and green awareness education. This article concludes that zakat can play an important role in addressing climate change by ensuring its use is in line with sharia principles.
