This report provides a strategic analysis of Buddhism’s role in climate change mitigation and adaptation, focusing on:
  • Buddhist beliefs on climate change and the decision-making processes of monks and Buddhist organisations
  • The relevance of Buddhist teachings in shaping climate-conscious values and behaviors
  • Strategic pathways for leveraging Buddhist institutions in climate initiatives
  • High-leverage opportunities to integrate religious frameworks into climate change policy and practice
Understanding the cultural and religious context is a valuable foundation for gaining deeper insight into the diverse stakeholders within the ecosystem. We hope this report helps readers appreciate the significant role Buddhism plays within communities and how it can contribute to accelerating climate change mitigation efforts.

This report was designed and developed based on analyses conducted by our experts, drawing from real-life experiences of monks across pagodas in various communities. We welcome feedback from readers and stakeholders alike. Should you have additional information, insights, or clarifications to share, please do not hesitate to contact our colleague, Ms. Sreyleak Phon, at [email protected], for further discussion.
