“This is a topic, caring for the earth, that we have worked on for a long time. And so that’s not new, but there’s a new emphasis,” said Presiding Bishop Gérald Caussé. 

Bishop Caussé said the Church hopes to “inspire members of the Church and all community members to use the resources of the earth with great care and prudence.” 

An expanded video version of the Church’s environmental stewardship efforts is available above, while a shorter version will be part of the World Report.

A new landing page with information on the Church’s efforts to care for the earth is also now available. This site provides an overview and additional references to the Church’s related teachings and operational initiatives, and other ideas such as how individuals and communities can be involved.

The April 2025 edition of the World Report will be released on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at 9 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time on Newsroom in 11 languages. The program will be available on the Church Newsroom YouTube channel and will air on the Church satellite system during general conference weekend. It will also air on BYUtv and KSL-TV.
