This audiobook is a collection of speeches, letters, and quotations by the world-renowned spiritual leader the Dalai Lama on the crisis of climate change. Some of the audiobook features interviews between the two authors as they discuss environmental activism and climate justice from a Buddhist perspective. It's impossible for any narrator to embody the Dalai Lama’s ineffable energy, humor, and calmness of mind; however, Brian Nishii does an admirable job. Angelo Di Loreto’s deep and commanding portrayal of Franz Alt brings the gravity and dangers of climate change to the forefront of every conversation. When chapters begin with lengthy quotations from various climate figures like Greta Thunberg, it isn’t always clear to listeners who is speaking. Overall, this is an inspiring, yet at times confusing, listening experience. J.T. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
“This impassioned account is ideal for readers well versed in current climate change activism, especially efforts spearheaded by Greta Thunberg.”-Library Journal
From the voice of the beloved world religious leader comes an eye-opening manifesto that empowers the generation of today to step up, take action and save our environment.
Saving the climate is our common duty. With each passing day, climate change is causing Pacific islands to disappear into the sea, accelerating the extinction of species at alarming proportions and aggravating a water shortage that has affected the entire world. In short, climate change can no longer be denied-it threatens our existence on earth.
In this new book, the Dalai Lama, one of the most influential figures of our time, calls on political decision makers to finally fight against deadlock and ignorance on this issue and to stand up for a different, more climate-friendly world and for the younger generation to assert their right to regain their future.
