APRIL 18–22, 2026

With Vandana Shiva & Other Renowned Scholars

Earth Democracy connects the particular to the universal, the diverse to the common, the local to the global. It is the core of the Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the earth family)- a community of all beings supported by the earth. Earth Democracy will be led by Dr Vandana Shiva, along with focusing on the relationships of all beings, this year she will also be focusing on the Union Carbide Bhopal Gas Tragedy. She will be demonstrating the link of this tragedy with agriculture, chemicals, and how, in contemporary times, Earth Democracy can be used as it is rooted in the idea of care in contrast to the chaos created by the greedeconomy.
