Abstract: The mass extinction of species, the disruption and destruction of entire ecosystems, the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, and the failure of existing legal mechanisms to adequately codify—let alone enforce—climate justice are all already facts. In my talk, I refine and redefine our understandings of and solutions to these issues—multispecies survival, ecological entanglement, cultures of sustainability, and climate justice—through the lens of Buddhist Environmental Humanities.
