FPMT Planetary Crises Summit 2025

Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 September 2025

Overview of the Summit

In 2024, the FPMT Planetary Crises Summit was hosted by Jamyang Centre in London. This year Maitreya Institute in Amsterdam will organize the event in a new hybrid format where centers across Europe unite to join together for the Summit over two days.

Theme

The planetary crises refer to a set of interconnected global challenges such as war, climate changes, over explotations of natural ressources, biodiversity loss, collapse of ecosystem, etc. that together pose a profound threat of life on Earth.

Together we can make a difference and inspire others.

Here is a rich program of presentation/teaching, meditation and dialogue.
