About ISOL FOUNDATION

Integrating Spirituality and Organizational Leadership Foundation (India) and ISOL Global Foundation (USA) is an interfaith research based management education initiative. The edifice of ISOL Foundation (India & USA) is built on the synthesis of sectarian beliefs. This harmony of religion is the spirit of the Foundation. Nine Research Groups (represented in the logo of ISOL Foundation) are created to draw insights from different wisdom traditions across various faith groups and integrate it with the leadership styles for creating non-violent, non-exploitative and sustainable organizations.

About the Conference

Culture enables environmental sustainability through its various intrinsic links, i.e., through cultural diversity and biodiversity, through its influence on consumption patterns, and through its contribution to sustainable environmental management practices as a result of local and traditional knowledge.

The question arises, how does culture foster environmental sustainability. Landscapes and the components of them have always strongly influenced local cultural practices, values and beliefs. In turn daily human decisions and actions increasingly impact on the capacity of ecosystems to provide for human life and well – being.

Traditional ecological wisdom, indigenous knowledge, knowledge of local fauna and flora, traditional healing systems, rituals, beliefs, initiatory rites, cosmologies, shamanism, possession rites and social organizations are often pre supposed by local and indigenous languages and environmental – related vocabularies. They are the key vehicles of traditional knowledge about the environment and sustainable management of its components. The degradation of culturally valued biodiversity and decrease in associated cultural services and features, not only triggers ecological decline and cultural erosion but also leads to social disruption and the weakening of social networks and ties within society.

The conference will address these issues though 5 thematic tracks:

1. Principles of Environmental Management in the Wisdom Traditions
2. Ancient Knowledge Systems for Sustainable Development
3. Managing Global Climate Change: Insights from Ancient Wisdom Traditions
4. Spiritual Dimension of Sustainable Development
5. Traditional Knowledge System for Bio – Diversity Conservation: Insights from Wisdom Traditions

We invite papers for oral and poster presentations.
