Buddhist Climate Project

(Environment and Nature) In the run-up to the crucial U.N. Climate Treaty Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009, the Buddhist Declaration on climate change will present to the world's media a unique spiritual view of climate change and our urgent responsibility to address the solutions.

It emerged from the contributions of over 20 Buddhist teachers of all traditions to the book A Buddhist Response to the Climate Emergency. "The Time to Act is Now" is a pan-Buddhist statement by Zen teacher Dr. David Tetsuun Loy and Theravada teacher Bhikkhu Bodhi with scientific input from Dr. John Stanley. The Dalai Lama was the first to sign this declaration. All concerned members of the international Buddhist community are invited to study the document and add their voice by co-signing it HERE.
