The Climate Change Conference, held from Sept. 6-11, 2011 at Swami Dayananda Ashram, Rishikesh, was hosted by PurnaVidya Trust, organized by Global Peace Initiative of Women and supported by Dharma Drum Mountain Buddhist Association.

Following six days of intense dialogue on the inner dimensions of climate change, young leaders from throughout Asia called for a new vision of development. Youth from India, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea explored the model of development dominating the world economy and advancing climate change. They concluded that governments and civil society need to forge a new paradigm that will redesign our system of economic development based on principles of spirituality, sustainability and universal human values.

The group pledged to carry the message to their many networks and send this call to the G20 meeting in Cannes, France in November this year, where government leaders will gather to address the global financial situation.
