After attending a showing of The People’s Emergency Briefing, a film presented by Chris Packham on the impact of the Climate Crisis on life in the UK, Kaspa talks to Shantigarbha about how Buddhist practice can support us to respond to the crisis.

We explore the different Buddhist motivations for acting, what compassion is and what our response should be.

Shantigarbha is the author of The Burning House: A Buddhist Response to the Climate and Ecological Emergency and is a convener of the Triratna Earth Sangha.
