In Asia, we are witnessing the impacts of climate change in the form of crop failures; flooding; the threat of species extinction due to the conversion of forest landscapes to extraction areas or monoculture plantations; and the threat to everyone’s livelihoods. This is exacerbated by the use of dirty energy, which exacerbates environmental degradation.
Various studies show that all these problems are structurally rooted in corrupt and unskilled authorities at various levels; extractive industries that shirk responsibility; banking institutions that continue to finance fossil fuel and coal businesses; and passive cultural and religious forces.

We envision a world transformed, in which humanity in all its diversity has developed a shared reverence for life on Earth.
Religious and spiritual communities everywhere generate a moral awakening to the sacredness of Earth and the dignity of all people. Together, we are building resilient, caring communities and economies that meet everyone’s needs and protect the planet. The era of conquest, extraction, and exploitation has given way to cooperation and community.
The good life is one of connectedness—with each other and all of nature. It is a world of flourishing life that replaces despair with joy, scarcity with shared abundance, and privilege with justly distributed power.
