Addressing global environmental crisis through sustainable and spiritual intervention: a case of Jainism
by Prerna Jain; Pragati Jain
International Journal of Business and Globalisation (IJBG), Vol. 37, No. 3, 2024

Abstract: Environmental crisis is the greatest challenge humanity is facing in the present times. Climate change, green-house gas emissions, air pollution and extreme temperatures have become a major cause of disease and death. The future seems bleak in the absence of proper implementation of policies. The accomplishment of sustainable development goals (SDGs) seems impossible, seeing the increasing demand for resources. The earth required to sustain the current consumption patterns reveals a very scary future. The ideology presented in the paper is where science, technology, politics and economics fail, spirituality provides solutions as it is all encompassing, having integrated and harmonious approach. The paper argues for practicing the philosophy of sustainable economics of Jainism and adoption of spiritual lifestyle to address the global environmental crisis.
