The aim of the group is to explore the role of compassion for addressing climate change and other sustainability challenges and disseminate related knowledge and approaches (for policy integration, systemic and culture change, education).<\/p>\n

It addresses the current lack of knowledge and applications of compassion in the field of climate change and sustainability to support individual, collective and system change.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The problem<\/h5>\n

Climate change is an increasing threat to healthy and sustainable development worldwide. However, the incremental policy approaches have not generated action at anywhere near the rate, scale or depth that is needed.<\/p>\n

This is largely due to the fact that climate change has historically been framed as a purely external, and technical challenge. There is an urgent need for a more fundamental understanding of climate change and our relation to it that links together individuals, communities, institutions, and systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
The way forward<\/h5>\n

We are increasingly understanding that sustainability crises, such as climate change, have one root cause: they are a reflection of an inner, human crisis of disconnection or separation from self, others, and nature, that is grounded in our modern cultures.<\/p>\n

Addressing climate change requires a shift away from those cultures and ways of thinking to more connected and compassionate mindsets. It\u2019s about becoming a more caring society, instead of relentlessly and increasingly exhausting ourselves, others and the planet.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
