OBJECTIVES
The “Handbook of Pancha Bhutas for Planet & People: Research Pathways Toward COP and the SDGs” aims to serve as a comprehensive resource compiling research insight, policy frameworks, and community-based solutions aligned with the conservation of the five elements — Water (Jal), Earth (Prithvi), Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), and Space (Akash). By connecting traditional ecological wisdom with modern scientific research, the book provides actionable pathways to address climate change, advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and contribute meaningful recommendations for global climate negotiations, including COP30. It seeks to inspire policymakers, researchers, educators, and youth to collaborate across disciplines and regions to build resilient, sustainable communities in harmony with nature.
