Design Thinking Process for Creation Care Efforts

Caring for God’s creation is a fundamental way of glorifying Him and supporting humanity. Therefore, faith-based organizations should deliver practical creation care efforts with lasting positive impacts. For this purpose, this paper describes the application of the design thinking process to create innovative
solutions to environmental challenges that affect our community. It is a solution-based and human- centered process that rests on four key pillars: intentionality, desirability, feasibility, and viability. The efforts are strategically aligned with existing internationally agreed environmental areas: sustainable consumption and production, biodiversity conservation, and sound chemicals and waste management. The 13 goal is to present a valuable tool to help faith-based organizations carry out efforts to care for and rule the natural environment in a faithful and fruitful way. The tool fosters a sense of connection and empathy among all involved.
