abstract	Are we treating the symptoms of the climate crisis while ignoring the disease? In Spiritual Solutions for Healing the Climate, author Peter Bruce-Iri argues that while we have the technology to mitigate global heating, we lack the collective will to implement it. Environmental breakdown is not merely a technical failure; it is a crisis of separation, selfishness, and consumerism. To avert the worst of this metacrisis, we must recognise that beneficial material solutions must ultimately be grounded in our collective spiritual consciousness. This book presents a blueprint for action based on the "three legs" of climate stability: reducing emissions, regenerating Earth systems, and, crucially, regenerating our mindsets and communities. Drawing on the profound teachings of the Bahá’í Faith, which views the Earth as a sacred trust and humanity as a single, interdependent family, this book speaks to the planet’s spiritual and secular traditions. It shifts the focus from distant institutions back to citizens' inner lives, aligning global sustainability efforts with the Inner Development Goals (IDGs). You will discover how cultivating inner capacities such as humility, compassion, and courage can help us overcome the destructive culture of consumerism by fostering a renewed culture of service. Furthermore, the book explores how we can harness collective intelligence through disciplined consultation and citizen assemblies to make wiser, more just decisions for the planet. The climate crisis is a profound test of humanity’s collective maturity, impelling us to the next stage of our collective evolution. Yet, by recognising that the roots of the crisis lie in the stories we live by and the values we cultivate, we can reclaim our agency.
