Climate change, extreme weather, pollution, and the destruction of natural habitats affect people, animals, and ecosystems worldwide. Although governments are trying to address these challenges, the problems keep getting worse. Is there any real hope for a permanent solution?

 The Bible speaks of a government that can and will solve all the earth’s environmental problems. It says that “the God of heaven will set up a kingdom,” a government to administer all of earth’s affairs. (Daniel 2:44) Under that world government, people “will not cause any harm or any ruin” to one another or to the earth.—Isaiah 11:9.
