UN Sustainable Development Goals and Buddhism | 2023
Ajahn Brahmali discusses the intersection between the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Buddhist principles, sharing reflections from a recent experience at a university conference in Thailand. The talk explores how Buddhism can support, deepen, and even surpass the ambitions of global sustainability initiatives.
The SDGs seek external change, but Buddhism teaches that true change begins within.
Buddhist ethics (sīla), compassion, contentment, and mindfulness directly support goals such as:
Reducing inequality and poverty
Promoting education, health, and well-being
Protecting the environment through simplicity and non-harm
