Igniting the power of transformative partnerships for inner and outer transformation
Organiser: Brahma Kumaris partnering with Commonland Foundation and Ecosystem Restoration Communities
21 November
Professor Christine Wamsler is participating.
The People´s Climate vote 2024 tells us that people do want to change. Yet modernist thinking and worldviews entangled with colonial power dynamics exclude other perspectives from decision-making. Accordingly, environmental policy tends to ignore human inner dimensions, intrinsic values and relational worldviews that are inherent in various traditional and wisdom communities. Speakers from diverse backgrounds (Politics, Science, Faith, Activism) share their perspectives on the chances and requirements of including inner transformation in our efforts at e.g. COP. Together with participants we reflect upon how e.g. COP would need to be restructured and redesigned. The aim is to produce a recommendation paper of the discussion.

Join us for a one-hour digital panel discussion with Lund University alumni – who are now actively involved in shaping global climate policy – and a researcher from Lund University's delegation to COP 29. In addition to providing a deeper understanding of the work on global climate challenges, the panel will also share their personal career journeys and reflect on how their time at Lund University has influenced their path into climate work.
