Brussels — Rigzin Genkhang, Representative of His Holiness the Dalai Lama at the Office of Tibet, highlighted the Chinese government's erasure of Tibetan identity, evidence of persecution of Tibetans, and the self-immolations of Tibetans who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of Tibet and call for the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, at the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), which brings together 60 legislators from more than 29 countries.

Dharamshala — The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has awarded its 2025 Democracy Service Medal to the 11th Panchen Lama Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, who was forcibly abducted by the Chinese government at the age of six, becoming the world's youngest prisoner. NED states," This award affirms Tibetan Buddhists’ fundamental right to choose their own spiritual leaders free of Chinese Communist Party interference and highlights Beijing’s campaign to control Tibetan succession, including that of the Dalai Lama, who turned 90 this year. "

Dharamshala — A Taiwanese artist presented His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama with a calligraphy scroll entitled “Tibetans are burning”, in tribute to the Tibetans who set themselves on fire. They sacrificed their lives for the freedom of Tibet and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Tibet. The artist wrote," Most of these people (self-immolators) never had the chance to see His Holiness in their lifetime, but thanks to this book, their names, their wishes, and their vows of self-immolation have arrived here (Dharamshala) in another form."

Dharamshala — Over 120 experts from around the world gathered in Dharamshala to participate in the 39th Mind and Life Dialogue. "This year's dialogue focused on ‘Mind, Artificial Intelligence, and Ethics,’ because how humans will coexist with AI will be a defining question of our time. We will need to draw on the deepest and most diverse resources of human knowledge to prevent the terms of the discussion and debate being taken over by loud voices. The future of humanity is at stake," said Thupten Jinpa, Chairman of the Mind & Life Board of Directors.

Stockholm — Experts from various countries held a discussion on the Himalayas, climate change, and its impact, particularly on the Tibetan plateau. They call on COP30 to include Tibet's climate in discussions on global climate governance and assert that "Recognising Tibet is not only about justice for a voiceless land; it is about protecting the global commons."

Stockholm, Sweden — More than International 25 experts published a new Stockholm paper entitled "Wither Tibet in the Climate Crisis Agenda? " and warned that the Tibetan Plateau is undergoing one of the most dramatic and least studied ecological transformations in the world today. Yet, despite its ecological importance, Tibet remains largely absent from global climate governance frameworks and mechanisms, therefore, Tibet must no longer remain the blind spot of global environmental governance.
