The responsible approach towards the environment and its moral dignity originates from religion and human worldview. Due to the increase in the environmental destruction in the present era, environment has become one of the most important concerns of human kind today. Based on this, the attention to the environmental ethics and responsibility has been increased. Using the meta-analysis method, this article shows that despite the large amount of research done in this field in Iran, these studies suffer from serious deficiencies. All the reviewed articles between 2018 and 2024 suffer from a kind of research method crisis, so that all of them are descriptive-analytic and compiled with a quantitative approach. As the review of published research shows, there is a kind of methodological, research and philosophical poverty in Iran in the field of environmental ethics and responsibility. This paper suggests that more academic attention is necessary in order to explain the importance of the environment for religions, a philosophical foundation should be established in the domain of value of environmental responsibility, religion and ethics, and appropriate education and legislation should be considered.
