The Hindu Declaration on Climate Change was read out in Melbourne, Australia on 8 December 2009, at the finale of the Convocation of Hindu Spiritual Leaders Parliament of the World’s Religions, a meeting of Hindu Leaders open to the public. It marked a definitive stance of Hinduism as a religion that is aware of humankind’s role and responsibilities in addressing the existential threat posed by climate change. All who were present unanimously endorsed the declaration by chanting ‘AUM’. The declaration aimed to send a message to the world’s leaders gathered for the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, until December 18, 2009.
