EEN was formed in recognition that many "environmental" problems are fundamentally spiritual problems. Its website includes an Evangelical Declaration on Care for Creation and information on EEN’s Creation Care magazine.
www.christiansandclimate.org—The Evangelical Climate Initiative. To make clear its views and commitment, a group of evangelical leaders has issued the statement Climate Change: An Evangelical Call to Action.
