EcoSikh is the Sikh community’s contribution to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) / Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC) Plans for Generational Change Project whose aim is to help the world’s major religious traditions create long term plans to improve their relationship with the environment.

The Plan is focused around five key areas: assets, education, media/advocacy, eco-twinning, and celebration. These key areas provide a framework to help create a comprehensive plan of action and an infrastructure to help connect our efforts around the world.  Each key area finds its roots in Sikh eco-theology and relies on this theology to enable its fruition. By retaining strong roots in our own theology we see the implementation of the EcoSikh Plan as a continuing expression of our faith.

The Seed Plan provides guidelines and examples for how each of these key areas can contribute to your environmental efforts in consonance with your practice of Sikhism. Perhaps all of these guidelines and examples will resonate with you and your community or perhaps only some of them will. You can use this seed as a core for customizing your own EcoSikh Plan and can add or subtract parts of it until it becomes a true expression of your faith and is also pertinent to the prominent environmental issues facing your local community.
