Churches in Zimbabwe not only preach the gospel of Jesus to the world but to assist in many ways in adjusting to the negative impacts that come with climate change.

Awareness programs

 * Educate the community about climate change, its effects and how best to help in reducing its causing factors.
 * The people in the church are also educated on how best to adjust to the climate change effects and also what to do during the climatic change factors like floods, heat waves, droughts, veld fires etc.
 * women in other churches have come up with projects to help vulnerable people


 * Planting of trees by Churches in Zimbabwe. They come up with an outreach campaign with a theme, "every tree a forest", therefore on the first Saturday of December Zimbabweans plant trees as a way to reduce deforestation.
 * Churches even came up with clean up campaigns that engage the church and the community.
