Opis

Spiritual Ecology and Social Mobilization presents a concise and powerful exploration of how faith, culture, and communal action shape environmental stewardship in climate vulnerable Bangladesh. It argues that sustainability is not just a technical task but a moral practice rooted in trusted spiritual narratives. Drawing on Islamic principles of stewardship and trust, Hindu reverence for sacred nature, and Buddhist ethics of nonviolence and interdependence, the book shows how diverse traditions converge on shared responsibility for protecting the Earth. Through grounded examples-mosque based green committees, temple centered rituals, monastic agroecology, women led household routines, and youth driven evidence culture-it illustrates how ethical ideas become practical, low cost environmental actions that communities can sustain over time. The book highlights how interfaith collaboration strengthens social cohesion, civic norms, and public legitimacy. It proposes a simple but effective tripartite model of Ethics, Mobilization, and Governance to connect moral energy with public systems, supported by inclusive leadership, context sensitive design, and accessible monitoring tools.
