Pemikiran Abu Yusuf dan Ekonomi Hijau: Konsep Pengelolaan Sumber Daya Alam yang Berkelanjutan dalam Ekonomi Islam

Abstract

Global environmental crises, including climate change, land degradation, and the excessive exploitation of natural resources, have stimulated the emergence of the green economy concept, which emphasizes resource efficiency, the reduction of ecological impacts, and the enhancement of social welfare. In this context, Islamic economic thought, particularly as articulated by Abu Yusuf in Kitab al-Kharaj, offers a relevant normative framework for the sustainable management of natural resources. This article aims to explore the application of Abu Yusuf's Islamic economic principles within the framework of the green economy, focusing on natural resource management that promotes environmental sustainability and social justice. The study employs a qualitative research method using a library research approach, examining Abu Yusuf's classical works, relevant scholarly literature, and policy documents related to the green economy. The findings indicate that Abu Yusuf's concepts of stewardship (amanah) over natural resources and distributive justice provide a strong foundation for implementing a sustainable green economy. His ideas concerning equitable taxation, prudent land management, and the state's responsibility in providing public infrastructure are highly relevant to the principles of the green economy, which advocate for efficient, equitable, and sustainable natural resource management. In conclusion, Abu Yusuf's thought may serve as a foundational framework for formulating sustainable natural resource management policies within contemporary Islamic economics by integrating the principles of sustainability, social justice, and environmental protection. The study recommends strengthening the role of the state in regulating and ensuring the utilization of natural resources in a manner that prioritizes not only short-term economic gains but also long-term human welfare and environmental preservation.
