What does Judaism (Torah/G-d) have to tell us about environmental destruction?

Humanity as a species is living in an unprecedented age of prosperity. However, in recent years, we are starting to fully understand the coming effects of climate change which could undo all the progress we’ve made. In fact, many of the articles and research papers I’ve read point towards civilization collapsing if nothing is done. At this point, that seems highly likely, even if we were to make drastic changes. My question is this: What does Judaism have to say about humans destroying Earth? Our home? Our garden of eden? What happens in 50 years when Jews cannot inhabit Israel due to climate change? I’m interested in hearing everyone’s thoughts. Thank you.
