This page is dedicated to the work of the International Buddhist Confederation's (IBC) Standing Committee on Environment and Conservation. The Chair of the Committee is His Holiness the 17th Karmapa.

The International Buddhist Confederation (IBC) is a global Buddhist umbrella body headquartered in New Delhi. Founded in 2012, it has a current membership of over 320 Buddhist organizations, both monastic and lay, spread over 39 countries and representing every Buddhist tradition. The Supreme Patriarchs and the highest ranking monks of all Buddhist countries, including Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, South Korea and Mongolia are among its Council of Patrons, which also includes His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Other high ranking monks, nuns and leading opinion makers and scholars of the Buddhist world are also a part of IBC as members of its Supreme Dhamma Council, Presidium and Governing Council. The motto of the organization is "Collective Wisdom, United Voice", in other words giving a united voice to the collective wisdom of all Buddhist traditions to ensure that values and principles become an important part of the contemporary global social and political discourse on important issues, including conflict and the environment.
