from my notes on Gandhi's Economic Thought by Ajit K. Dasgupta
NY: Routledge, 1996 ISBN 0-415-11430-6
http://hubeventsnotes.blogspot.com/2014/04/gandhis-economic-thought.html
[All notes from my readings in Gandhian or nonviolent economics can be accessed through that site as well.]
"Buddhism does not, however, regard economic activity as such as unethical. On the contrary it gives economic, and in particular business, enterprise an honoured place. For a proper perspective on Gandhi's economic thought, certain specific elements in the Buddhist approach to economics are especially relevant. First, a persistent theme of Buddhist texts is that the worldly and the spiritual spheres of activity are not different in kind. They are, as it were, cut from the same cloth and the conditions required for success in them have large overlap. In the Majjjmanikaya, for instance, one who is successful in spiritual enterprise is likened to 'a rich and wealthy man on a long journey through the woods who should eventually emerge safe and sound without a loss of goods'. Gandhi thought in much the same way. In formulating economic concepts such as swadeshi or trusteeship Gandhi often used a 'saintly idiom'. This, I believe reflects not so much his religiosity as a belief that material and spiritual considerations can be described in much the same language.
"Second, the general principle of economic conduct for the Buddhist layman is appamada, which translates roughly as paying attention and taking care. The basic virtues that this principle invokes are attention, carefulness, conscientiousness and diligence. The householder who seeks to follow the Dhamma must therefore work hard, avoid wasting resources, cultivate his skills, practise thrift and, without becoming possessive, take good care of his possessions. The householder who succeeds in acquiring wealth by honest means and through his own energy and effort, who does not run into debt and retains ownership of his property, who enjoys both material well-being and independence and who uses his wealth for the public good is commended by Buddha; and the wealth of such a man is described as 'wealth that has seized its opportunity, turned to merit and is fittingly made use of'. Gombrich sums up: 'Buddha never suggests that laymen should eschew property, he commends wealth which is righteously acquired by one's own effort.

These kinds of events below are happening all over the world every day and most of them, now, are webcast and archived, sometimes even with accurate transcripts. Would be good to have a place that helped people access them. This is a more global version of the local listings I did for about a decade (what I did and why I did it at http://hubeventsnotes.blogspot.com/2013/11/what-i-do-and-why-i-do-it.html) until September 2020 and earlier for a few years in the 1990s (http://theworld.com/~gmoke/AList.index.html ).
A more comprehensive global listing service could be developed if there were enough people interested in doing it, if it hasn't already been done.
If anyone knows of such a global listing of open energy, climate, and other events is available, please put me in contact.

These kinds of events below are happening all over the world every day and most of them, now, are webcast and archived, sometimes even with accurate transcripts. Would be good to have a place that helped people access them. This is a more global version of the local listings I did for about a decade (what I did and why I did it at http://hubeventsnotes.blogspot.com/2013/11/what-i-do-and-why-i-do-it.html) until September 2020 and earlier for a few years in the 1990s (http://theworld.com/~gmoke/AList.index.html).
A more comprehensive global listing service could be developed if there were enough people interested in doing it, if it hasn't already been done.
If anyone knows of such a global listing of open energy, climate, and other events is available, please put me in contact.

As someone who scans the Internet to find energy/environment/climate events (mostly academic) around the world to publish Energy (and Other) Events Monthly (http://hubevents.blogspot.com), I found these online events which are intended to keep people informed about what is going to go on in Dubai during the Conference of Parties or COP28. If you can't make it to the United Arab Emirates to participate, these events should provide you with the information you just might want or need.
RMI [Rocky Mountain Institute] at COP28
Multiple events from December 1 through December 12

Cop28 and the green transition, with Christiana Figueres and others
Tuesday, December 5
3:00 EST
Online
RSVP at http://www.eventbrite.com/e/cop28-and-the-green-transition-with-christiana-figueres-and-others-ticke
ts-734770015897
Cost: £10.88
Editorial Comment: Christiana Figueres was the head of the UNFCC and, in my opinion, was one of the lynch-pins who made the Paris Agreement possible by concentrating on moving cities, states, and sub-national regions forward on climate after the debacle of the Copenhagen COP. I've seen her speak a few times and she is extremely knowledgable, smart, and FIERCE.
Putting People at the Center of Just Transition: How can we achieve a people-focused approach to a just transition?

"Any new government will have to make difficult decisions on the controversial topic of nitrogen emissions and how to prioritise different sectors such as farming, aviation, and construction. Dutch climate policy also stretches across borders. The country is one of of the world's largest agricultural exporters, and recently closed one of Europe's largest natural gas fields, which served neighbouring countries for decades. The Netherlands also aims to become the continent's green hydrogen hub. This factsheet gives an overview of crucial climate and energy issues, and how the highest-polling parties position themselves."

Looks like they did their homework and the Netherlands with its focus on agricultural production is one country which may help show the future of clikmate regulation and laws. That is, if there is a future.

Once you know: growing our capacity to face darkening climate predictions
2023 Charles D Keeling Memorial Lecture, Scripps Institution of Oceanography
May 8, 2023
Susan Moser, Affiliate Faculty at University of Massachusetts Amherst; Research Faculty at Antioch University of New England
Lecture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6pCZ1-K0To
Once You Know documentary: http://www.videoproject.org/once-you-know.html
Moser first learned of climate change in 1985
"We're moving outside the range of the familiar in terms of frequency, intensity, and how expensive they are."
growing acknowledgment of mental health threats from climate
extreme heat causes people to be more aggressive
"It is really intense how domestic violence and abuse of children goes up in those [climate] events: any time another storm hits, a man hits a woman" is a bitter irony known among those who work in that field
Climate change is not the same for everybody, the people who did the least to cause the problems and least able to navigate climate change are hurt worse and have to look at the effects almost constantly.
[Moser repeated this point several times.]
The confluence of racism and poverty with climate is potent.

A Tale
There was once an Officer, a worthy man, named Montrésor, who was very ill. His parish Priest, thinking he would die, advised him to make his Peace with God, so that he would be recieved into Paradise. "I don't feel much Uneasiness on that Score," said Montrésor; "for last Night I had a Vision which set me entirely at rest." "What vision did you have?" asked the good Priest. "I was," he said, "at the Gate of Paradise with a Crowd of People who wanted to enter. And St. Peter asked each of them what Religion he belonged to. One answered, `I am a Roman Catholic.' `Very well,' said St. Peter; `come in, & take your Place over there among the Catholics.' Another said he belonged to the Anglican Church. `Very well,' said St. Peter; `come in, & take your Place over there among the Anglicans.' Another said he was a Quaker. `Very well,' said St. Peter; `come in, & take a Place among the Quakers.' Finally he asked me what my Religion was. `Alas!' I replied, `unfortunately poor Jacques Montrésor belongs to none at all.' 'That's a pity,' said the Saint. `I don't know where to put you but come in anyway; just find a Place for yourself wherever you can.'"

Creating Sustainable Systems: Soil, Carbon, and Food
September 28
7:30 PM
Online
RSVP at http://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_eGaJ3BzGQW-zvTiceKvSYg#/registration
Regenerative Agriculture, Sustainable Nutrition, Equitably Ecological Land-use, and Democratic Power are all part of the solution to the climate crisis. The panel will highlight some of the technical/economic/political/practical challenges and opportunities that we need to honestly face in order to make farming-based climate improvement strategies actually work at scale. Our hope is to raise the level of discussion about these important strategies, acknowledging the unknowns and limits while suggesting ways forward.
Speakers Include:
David Montgomery, Professor of Geology at University of Washington and an expert on regenerative agriculture, will focus on farming for soil quality as a way to both feed our growing population and reduce greenhouse gasses.
Walter Willett, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition, currently the co-chair of the EAT-Lancet Commission on sustainable nutrition, will summarize their findings about staying healthy in a climate-endangered world.
Ilan Zugman, 350.org's Latin America Director, will provide an overview connecting the pressure on land use with fossil fuel extraction from a Global South perspective.
Danielle Nierenberg, co-founder and President of Food Tank, has a long history of making discussions exciting and insightful, will moderate.
