The analysis carried out has proven that there are some similarities which could be fruitfully used develop a constructive interreligious dialogue and provide a strong combined contribution by the two majority religions of the world to “to convince Governments to do more, in the perspective of the necessary regulation of [environmental] sustainability” (De Oto, 2019: 77-78).
