We're at a critical moment in history with regards to the environment, and as stewards of God’s world, we need to work to reduce the climate crisis and protect people and planet. How can we live in a way that respects the beauty of God's creation and, crucially, preserves the world's resources for future generations? We have to act now, before we reach a tipping point that’s too difficult to come back from. Our individual actions, lifestyle choices, lobbying organisations and advocating to political leaders will be powerful tools to bring meaningful change.

Climate Stewards have a number of projects across the world, from tree planting to environmental clubs in schools to supplying smokeless stoves. They help people and organisations to respond to climate change and environment issues, particularly Christians.
Green Christian
Christian Ecology Link (also known as Green Christian) are a group of Christians from all backgrounds and traditions who work to care for the environment through prayer, living simply, public witness, campaigning and mutual encouragement.
Just Money Movement
Just Money Movement aims to be the go-to organisation for Christians and churches who want to connect faith, money and justice. They educate, campaign and advocate, resourcing a movement of Christians and churches to act differently with our own money and speak out about money. They believe such a movement can lead to changes in the way businesses and banks behave, in the policies set by government, and in people’s attitudes, all of which can help shape a fairer, greener world.
