Our only home : a climate appeal to the world / by Bstan-ʼdzin-rgya-mtsho,Dalai Lama XIV,1935-author.; Alt, Franz,1938-author.; Reif, Peter,translator.;
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. The Dalai Lama, one of the most influential figures of all 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.
