This study examines the climate crisis as a theological and missiological issue within the framework of Missio Dei, rather than merely as an environmental concern. Focusing on the World Council of Churches (WCC), it traces the development of the Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) paradigm from 1961 to 2022. Arguing that the climate crisis is fundamentally about climate justice and rooted in global inequality and anthropocentric worldviews, the research redefines Christian mission as including the restoration of all creation. Building on a biblical-theological foundation, it revisits Genesis 1:28 and incorporates insights from scholars like Vicedom, Hoekendijk, Keller, and Bauckham to construct an ecocentric missiology. The study highlights the WCC’s shift from anthropocentric mission to a life-centered, creation-inclusive theology. Key documents such as Together Towards Life and An Economy of Life, Justice, and Peace reflect this transformation, connecting ecological sustainability with economic and social justice. The WCC’s advocacy for interfaith collaboration, climate justice, and care for vulnerable communities illustrates its prophetic role in addressing the ecological crisis. Ultimately, the study calls the global church to practice transformative discipleship and ecological responsibility as vital expressions of participating in God’s mission.
