The measures include creating awareness through endorsement of traditional food and promotion of sustainable lifestyle. These plans will be developed and implemented over the next nine years - a timeframe chosen to encourage long-term planning.
The leaders met at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies (OCHS) on Thursday as part of an international initiative led by the Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC) and the OCHS.
The initiative is supported by the United Nations Development Programme. Working with 11 different faiths worldwide, the ARC helps people to develop long-term plans for environmental protection.
Earlier, ARC's meeting was held in April this year. Ranchor Prime, researcher on Hindu environmental issues said, "Food has always been at the heart of the Hindu way of life. Now with food, and especially the environmental cost of meat, right at the top of the global climate change agenda, Hindus feel they have something to say. One of their key concerns is to change public perceptions of the cow as simply a source of food."
