KAILASA is Represented at the Sixth Session of the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA-6)

UNON, Nairobi, Kenya, February 27, 2024 – Today, the sixth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6) took place at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya. As the world’s top decision-making body on the environment, UNEA aims to help restore harmony between humanity and nature, improving the lives of the world’s most vulnerable people.

The direct disciples of THE SPH BHAGVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and alumni of KAILASA’s Nithyananda Gurukul from the Sovereign Order of KAILASA’s Nithyananda represented The United States of KAILASA, the First Nation for Hindus, alongside global leaders, statesmen, and visionaries. KAILASA presented its perspective on tackling the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, ecosystems and biodiversity, pollution and waste.

The United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6) officially features KAILASA on its website for establishing the successful working model spearheaded by THE SPH.

Backed by strong science, political resolve, and engagement with society, the Assembly is an opportunity for world governments, civil society groups, the scientific community, and the private sector to shape global environmental policy, focusing on how multilateralism can help tackle this triple planetary crisis.

Across KAILASA’s ecosystems around the world, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, has implemented sustainable development measures and policies that promote growth while guaranteeing the welfare of the planet. 

As highlighted by the assembly, multilateralism, and partnership are essential to implementing sustainable development solutions. In this angle, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM has established a worldwide movement across over a hundred countries, working towards a healthy planet. THE SPH has launched multiple green initiatives such as Go Zero Waste, Say No to Plastic, the Clean Air Initiative, re-using food in agriculture, Go Vegetarian, the global Ishanya Project, promoting care over cure, and the Healthy Planet initiative to restore the Earth’s glory through concrete action, in alignment with the UNEA and UN SDGs main focus points. 

Hinduism advocates revering the Earth as a mother Goddess. Through this holistic approach, Hindus have been able to mitigate disasters and maintain a harmonious and sustainable relationship with the Earth.

Facilitated in a dynamic and interactive format, the UN-SPBF of the UNEA-6’s impactful program features ministers, star speakers, and visionaries from the business sector, governments, scientific institutions, and civil society. Its Special Sessions concentrate on solution-driven thought leadership that aligns with UNEA’s theme – “effective, inclusive and sustainable multilateral actions to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution” – and the Executive Director’s report.

The outcomes of the special session will inform ministerial consultations and the UN Environment Assembly.

KAILASA is Represented at UN Youth Environment Program, Voices for Change: Driving Advocacy Through Eco-Spiritualities

by sri.sundareshwara.admin | Feb 18, 2024 | Briefings & Statements, Featured, Featured Recognitions, Global Initiatives

UNEP Headquarters, Nairobi, February 17, 2024 – Diplomats of KAILASA represented KAILASA’s views on the environment at the UN Youth Environment program held at the UNEP Headquarters in Nairobi. 

The Global Youth Environment Assembly (Global YEA) is a crucial platform that gathers young environmental enthusiasts and policy advocates from around the world to participate in policy discussions and knowledge-sharing. This year, it will culminate with the formulation of the Global Youth Declaration on Environment, which will be presented at the sixth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly.

The Global Youth Declaration (GYD) is a pivotal statement poised to represent the collective voice of youth from diverse regions, backgrounds, and perspectives, uniting in a resounding call for effective, inclusive, and sustainable global actions to address climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.

KAILASA’s diplomats presented solutions from Hinduism, the world’s most ancient civilization, and the model eco-friendly sustainable eco-systems established by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM around the globe.

Hinduism fundamentally reveres all living and inanimate entities as manifestations of the Divine. The principle of Advaita, or Oneness, the inter-connectedness of all things, guides us to perceive the inherent divine nature of all things without discrimination, including animals and plants. In Hinduism, the Earth is worshiped as a living Goddess, respected and honored. In a practical application of this universal principle, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH) has restricted the use of plastic and other materials harmful to the environment in KAILASA’s ecosystems, preferring reusable, recyclable, or recycled materials and encouraging self-sustenance through organic farming. THE SPH has also launched the global Ishanya project that collects, recycles, and distributes medical equipment, food, and other commodities to communities in need in different regions of the world.

KAILASA stands unequivocally for the protection of the environment and the adoption of sustainable policies around the globe. In Voices for Change: Driving Advocacy through Eco-spiritualities, KAILASA contributes to global dialogue and policy-making on this pressing matter, taking concrete steps for effective change.
