“If we believe that COP is the fulcrum of change, we must push for action instead of engaging in more conversations and more conversations,” Sadhguru said

Speaking at the special session titled ‘Soil, the Climate Superstar: Dialogue to mark World Soil Day 2023’,  Sadhguru claimed that in eight to twelve years, we can reverse 35 to 40 per cent of the amount of climate change currently being spent on mitigation. With just a tenth of the money currently being spent on mitigation, we can make significant improvements to the land and soil situation.

He stressed that understanding is crucial and that action is now necessary—this is more than just raising awareness.

“If we believe that COP is the fulcrum of change, we must push for action instead of engaging in more conversations and more conversations,” he said.

He also said that just about every resource we use, no matter what we are making out of it, is essentially soil.

“Soil is not just the farmer’s business. It is everybody’s business because we are soil. The only question is – will we get it now, or will we get it only from the maggots when we are buried? If we get it now, we can make a difference. Let us make it happen,” he added.

He said that making soil cool as a topic is just the beginning. “We have to cool the soil which is the real thing,” he explained.
