We are in the midst of a planetary emergency. Radical and urgent changes are needed to avert catastrophe, but still we are failing to act in accordance with the science. So what is preventing us from rapidly transitioning to clean energy and adopting more equitable, simpler ways of living? This extended interview with Mohammed Sofiane Mesbahi provides an inspiring answer to the most important question of our time. What begins as a broad discussion of the UN climate change negotiations unfolds into a profound exploration of the spiritual aspects of the climate crisis—a crisis that stems from our lack of loving awareness and right human relations. With candour and profound insight, Mesbahi sets out his vision of a mass engagement of the public, united by their demand for sharing the world’s resources.
