Hindu Council of Australia

Australian Religious Response to Climate Change(ARRCC) Conference

Earth Wisdom, Hope in Action 

The Hindu Council of Australia has long been friends with the Australian Religious Response to Climate Change (ARRCC). ARRCC is keen to welcome as many people from various cultures as to their second ever ARRCC National Climate Conference, to be held at Santa Sabina College, Strathfield, on 4 – 6 October.

The Conference aims to build a supportive community that is hope-filled, energised and has a sense of purpose. Speakers have been invited who are the most talented in their fields and who approach the subject of climate change with positive energy and hard-earned wisdom. ARRCC has warmly welcomed Shri Dr Avinash Karpe Ji and Shri Pranav Jairam Ji as two of the workshop presenters, and Smt. Vijaya Phanikumar Ji is a wonderful Carnatic musician who will kindly sing for us on Saturday evening.
