About this listen

In a world on the brink of ecological collapse, how can we realign our path to one that ensures humanity's and the planet's survival?

In A Global Shift to Gandhi: Earth-Shastra and Humane Arthashastra, Dr. R.K. Pachauri, a globally renowned environmental scientist and former Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), presents a thought-provoking exploration of how Mahatma Gandhi's timeless principles can guide us through the environmental and societal crises we face today.

This groundbreaking book examines the urgent need for a radical transformation in our global approach to development. Drawing inspiration from Gandhi’s ideals of simplicity, non-violence, and equitable resource use, Dr. Pachauri introduces the concept of Earth-Shastra—a framework for sustainable living that harmonizes human progress with the preservation of the planet's ecosystems.

As environmental degradation accelerates and climate change looms, Dr. Pachauri argues that incremental changes are no longer enough. Instead, he advocates for a disruptive shift in our values and practices—a new form of capitalism that prioritizes ecological balance, social justice, and the wellbeing of future generations.

Through compelling insights and rigorous analysis, A Global Shift to Gandhi challenges readers to rethink their role in shaping a sustainable future. This book is not just a reflection on the grim realities of our time, but a beacon of hope, urging individuals, policymakers, and global leaders to embrace a Gandhian approach to development—one that secures the future of our planet and all its inhabitants.

Whether you are an environmentalist, a student of Gandhian philosophy, or simply someone concerned about the future of our world, this book offers an inspiring vision for how we, collectively, can steer our society toward a more sustainable and just future.

I appreciate that this audiobook is spreading the word and speaks to Gandhi's principles. The stories and annecdotes related to Gandhi and otherwise are well told - succinct and powerful and thus memorable. Thank you for sharing these insights - many of which were new to me. This offers fresh insights on climate change - an issue that's been longstanding and can be easy to become jaded about.
