Climate refers to long-term changes in the weather and has become an important part in the discussion on higher-than-average temperatures, extreme weather phenomena, and "creation care."
Recently, Christian leaders have dedicated more attention toward issues surrounding the climate such as addressing climate action and participation in climate protests.
For example, Christian Climate Action in the UK, Netherlands, and Germany used prayer and "non-violent civil disobedience" to call on their governments to reduce fossil fuel consumption. In 2022, The Vatican joined the Paris Climate Agreement which aims for net-zero emissions by 2050.
In France, a survey showed that at least 21 percent of Protestant Christians participated in marches and at least one-quarter in demonstrations related to climate activism.
Yet, some Christians warn that much of the climate crisis messages contain alarmist rhetoric that directs itself away from God and the Bible. However, others think that its possible to address climate challenges and follow it up with concrete action. These actions are also part of what some Christian communities call "creation care" which refers to stewarding the earth through prayer and activism.
