Climate Justice: A Philosophical Endeavour Towards Natural Balance

While climate appears to be a somewhat ambiguous term due to inherently different yet vast ecological parameters (biotic and abiotic) viz. air, water, temperature, humidity, soil pH, nutrient levels, biodiversity, population density, flora and fauna, etc., altogether it can reasonably be reduced to simple and natural living objects having a unique parallel with nature. This parallel evidently points to the much-required balance in the climate within the ecology of nature, thereby leading to a balanced natural cycle in the world.

In the internal realm of an individual, it manifests as a mind-body-soul alignment or balance that was defined as Integral Humanism by Late Deen Dayal Upadhyaya—a prominent humanist thinker and social worker—advocating for a balanced approach to life and society, integrating the individual, community, nature and the universe. And that can be a guiding star for forging an ideal balance in the climate and ecology around the earth, thereby helping attain the desired climate justice.

Such alignment and balance with nature obviously demand deeper exploration and insights into energy and consciousness and their unique interplay emanating probably out of vibration or vice-versa. How can these two factors help in achieving climate justice? Although it may look almost impossible when explored through an objective and empirical manner, it may reasonably be possible with the help of a philosophical approach.

Evidently, this approach is supposed to rely on the fundamentals of vibration as well as consciousness while exploring the reason or root cause of energy, because the balance in energy and its transformations must result in balance in nature—especially due to the consequent balance in different aforesaid vital parameters of ecology—resulting in a good and healthy climate.

While searching through the other way, these parameters may reasonably be considered to be an offshoot of the very vital constituents of energy in terms of vibration and consciousness. Our world and universe, or cosmos, may be regarded as expanding manifestations of vibration and consciousness extending into a multiverse, so prominent scientists now believe.

Further, in its quest to understand the infinite universe or cosmos, humanity grapples with the fundamental and boundless concepts of time and space, thus raising the primary question of a hospitable climate—including various species, flora and fauna—to render an ecological balance feasible, altogether manifesting natural balance, wherein a soul acquires a physical or material life through the evolutionary process upon earth, apart from being a source of energy leading to continuous and consistent vibration.

In fact, both consciousness on the one hand and mind and soul on the other draw a certain parallel between energy and consciousness, reflecting the much-discussed self-sustaining force which, as obvious, is the result of vibration. This submission obviously leads to another probable proposition: that the greater the vibration or higher the form or degree of energy, the better the form of life.

Of course, that is due to achieving the perfect climate parameters leading to climate justice—an ideal situation where both the inner and outer world in an individual, or similarly in a celestial body including earth, match to a level of perfection where all the aforesaid parameters in climate maintain a healthy balance to evolve the much-desired harmony in ecological constituents, or the perfect ecological balance in this world upon planet earth and also in the universe.

Thus, vibration as a source of energy, or the other way round as a soul, may be safely deduced to be a part of this infinite universe and cosmos, and that is illustrated in our sacred religious and mythological texts and scriptures or classics, although still awaiting empirical or verifiable depiction.

Yet these present an integral and natural constituent of our self ever since the emergence of human societies in the form of sacred religions and their rites and rituals, deeply channelled to balance our conscience as well as consciousness, thereby resulting in different forms of energy and their transformations in this temporal or physical world in the form of ecological balance leading to climate justice—an ideal situation where both the inner and outer world in an individual, or similarly in a celestial body viz. earth, match to a level of perfection where all the aforesaid parameters in climate maintain the desired harmony in ecological constituents or the perfect ecological balance in this world upon the earth, possibly including the universe.
