Abstract
This paper explores the intersection of spirituality and climate ethics, arguing that spiritual practices—especially meditation—can serve as complementary tools to conventional climate strategies. Rather than replacing scientific approaches, spiritual frameworks offer behavioral and ethical dimensions that support ecological sustainability. Drawing on traditions such as Vedic philosophy and contemporary eco-psychology, the paper examines the potential for spiritual practices to foster environmental consciousness and systemic change.
