Since 2003, Reverend Richard Cizik has been active in a type of environmentalism he calls "creation care."

Reverend Cizik was the Vice President for Governmental Affairs of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) and one of the most prominent Evangelical lobbyists in the United States. In his position with the NAE, Cizik's primary responsibilities were setting the organization's policy on issues and lobbying the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court. Cizik also served as NAE's national spokesman and edited a monthly magazine, NAE Washington Insight.

In 2002, Cizik was a participant in Climate Forum 2002, at Oxford, England, which produced the "Oxford Declaration" on global warming. He was instrumental in creating the Evangelical Climate Initiative, introduced in 2006. In 2005, the New York Times dubbed him the "Earthy Evangelist" for his advocacy on climate change, and in 2008 he was named to TIME Magazine's list of the "TIME 100" most influential people. In 2006, Fast Company placed him on its list of "Most Creative Minds."

He has recently launched a new organization called the New Evangelicals Partnership and is devoting himself to spreading awareness of climate change and the need to care for the environment among the large evangelical community in the US. He is a Fellow of the Open Society. He attended the Climate Summit in Copenhagen in 2009 and kept a video diary of his trip.

Cizik has written over 100 articles and editorials and is the author and editor of "The High Cost of Indifference" (Regal Books). He contributed to the landmark document "For the Health of the Nation: An Evangelical Call to Civic Engagement."
