TweetThis year we will celebrate World Environment Day at Kagyu Samye Dzong London with speakers from a variety of organisations.
We have been fortunate to organise this event in conjunction with SFI, Strengthening Faith Institutions who have also created a Sustainable Sanctuaries handbook with tips on how to create a sustainable and environmentally friendly Place of Worship.
The theme of World Environment Day 2022 is ‘Only One Earth’, with the focus on living sustainably in harmony with nature.
This event is in-person only.
