A Christian might act as a steward of the environment based on biblical teachings that humans are called to care for God's creation and the Earth belongs to God. As stewards, Christians have a responsibility to protect the environment for future generations. The document discusses various ways Christians can act as environmental stewards, such as by reducing their impact, advocating for policies that protect the planet, and educating others about caring for God's creation.

4. A rise, of 4C by the end of the century, would cause droughts
across Africa, and a fall in harvests of 15% to 35%. Globally, crop
yields would fall 10%.
Sea levels would rise by up to 59cm, with Bangladesh and
Vietnam among the worst hit, along with coastal cities such as
New York, London, Tokyo, Kolkata and Karachi. In Britain alone,
there would be 1.8 million people at risk of flooding. The
western Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets would begin to melt
irreversibly and Europe would lose 80% of its Alpine glaciers.
Across the Arctic, half of the tundra is at risk.
A 4C rise is predicted to drive 20% to 50% of land species to
extinction and put 80m more Africans at risk of malaria as
mosquitoes thrive.
