Abstract

The biosphere's survival is dependent on the satisfaction of the living circumstances of species on the planet. Any damage to the ecosystem causes a catastrophe for all living things. Global warming is on the rise as a result of regular people's absence of foresight, and contamination in the globe's waters, wind, and atmosphere has grown widespread. As a result, initiatives are being undertaken to safeguard the ecosystem by raising consciousness of ecological deterioration through techniques like laws, advertising, and conferences. But it has been observed that these are not that effective. This chapter attempts to highlight the role and significance of faith, cultural, and moral precepts that may be more helpful and effective in policymaking as they shape the human behaviour much more smoothly than any law. Therefore, a connection has been highlighted between Bhagvad Gita and global warming in terms of understanding one's own self and nature, people's personalities, ethics, and duties toward environment.
