Saving the climate is our common duty

How is our planet doing? Drought and forest fires wreak havoc. Climate refugees are drowning in the sea and the extinction of species is taking on alarming proportions.

At the same time, former US President Donald Trump denied
man-made climate change, although millions lost their belongings in the fires in California. But Climate change can no longer be denied–after all, our survival is at stake!

With his new book, the Dalai Lama calls on us to accept our responsibility and to work together to protect the environment. He also emphasizes the spiritual side of the climate problem: If we assume that we will be born into this world again–which is what many religions do–it will be for our own benefit, if we protect nature and live sustainability.

»We humans are the only species that has the power to destroy–or still save–our planet and its climate.«

Dalai Lama

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama was born in 1935 in Takster in Eastern Tibet. After the occupation of Tibet by China in 1959, he fled to India, from where he has since worked for the independence of his homeland. In 1989 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
