Buddhists call for strong Paris climate deal to limit warming http://goo.gl/fb/L7fymO 

The statement from the leaders of over a billion Buddhists worldwide says that the causes of this “environmental crisis” are the use of fossil fuels, unsustainable consumption patterns, lack of awareness and lack of concern about the consequences of our actions.

“We are at a crucial crossroads where our survival and that of other species is at stake as a result of our actions,” the statement says, arguing that the world must move to 100% renewable and clean energy.

The leaders call for a deal in Paris that will limit the rise in global temperatures to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.
