00:00Acharya Prashant was invited to the London Climate Action Week, 2026, at London School of Economics.
00:07LCAW is the largest citywide climate festival in Europe.
00:11It brings together policy makers, investors and communities to drive global and local climate solutions.
00:18Here's a glimpse of his talk.
00:20It is somehow convenient to assume that the emissions are coming from an engine, an industry, they are coming from
00:29deforestation or meat.
00:31But we fail to look at what is behind the engine.
00:37We fail to look at what is behind the axe.
00:40Human activity is the one that arises from inner emptiness, a psychological hollow.
00:47We are bound to be happy and how does one become happy?
00:51Through consumption.
00:52That's the popular philosophy underlying every bit of human action.
00:58What's pathetic is that this consumption yields the ego nothing at all.
01:03Man remains inwardly as desperate as he ever was.
01:09So we have destroyed the planet.
01:11The hope is that destruction will somehow plug that inner hollow and that inner hollow has not been plugged.
01:19We fail to see that the ego is the central pollutant.
01:26Let me simply say the climate crisis is the ego made atmospheric.
01:39There's no belief, just three minutes away.
01:39Let me just do it against means that this will change the result.
01:39A Israel serviceΠ½ΠΎΠ΅ alΕitude from today.
01:39And I hope you love it.
