Addressing Climate Change
December 7, 2009
The Global Peace Initiative of Women (GPIW) organized the week-long "Addressing Climate Change: World Spiritual Leaders Gather for the COP15" event program in support of the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP15, to spur "awakening to oneness" in dealing with climate change. In panel discussions, GPIW delegation of 25 leaders from both Eastern and Western religious backgrounds encouraged their view that because it is a common human problem, stopping climate change requires renewed focus on a universal spiritual connection among humans and between humanity and nature. The delegation was assembled in a way that gave what GPIW believed was an overdue role in climate change dialogue to religious leaders from Eastern traditions such as Buddhism and Hinduism.
