Our Only Home

Saving the environment is our collective 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 European continent. In short, climate change can no longer be denied - it threatens our existence on earth.
In this inspiring 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. He argues that we all need to stand up for a different and more climate-friendly world, and to allow the younger generation to assert their right to regain their future.
From the voice of the beloved world religious leader comes this eye-opening manifesto that empowers the generation of today to step up, take action and protect our world.

His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, was born in 1935 in Takster in Eastern Tibet. He fled to India after the occupation of Tibet by China in 1959 from where he has since worked for the independence of his homeland. In 1989, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He lives in McLeod Ganj.
