Dalai Lama: Urgent action needed on climate change
Tibet`s exiled Buddhist leader the Dalai Lama urged world governments to make fighting global warming a priority. During talks in Sydney, he said combating climate change needed to take centre stage on both personal and national fronts. The Dalai Lama noted that reducing carbon emissions was taking the back seat to economic issues because elected administrations felt the pressure to favour the interests of the country over those of the planet. He asserted: `That ... should change. The global issue should be number one. In some cases in order to protect global issues, some sacrifice of national interest is needed. `The spiritual leader went on to say: `Taking care of the environment should be a part of our daily lives` and gave examples of how he attempts to reduce his carbon footprint in his own day-to-day life. His comments came on the heels of a debate in Australian government on if a CO2 emissions trading scheme should be the nation`s key climate change policy. A Nielsen poll in the Sydney Morning Herald found 66 per cent of Australians supported such a framework in their country, with 25 per cent being opposed.
