Скачать или смотреть Environment in India and China: Ecology Part 2 | The New School

Though China and India are known for their explosive growth rates and impressive achievements in social and economic development, much of the world continues to watch with apprehension as growing industry in both nations degrades natural resources and ecosystems. The New School's India China Institute (ICI) will address issues of resource management and environmental sustainability at a conference entitled The Environment in India and China: Histories and Innovation.

"We are proud to host such distinguished experts to contribute to our understanding of how to create a sustainable environment in the world's fastest growing economies," said ICI Director Ashok Gurung. "This conference draws on the interdisciplinary nature of The New School, and gives opportunity for scholars and activists alike to combine theory and research with real-world situations."

The conference has three themes, Ecology,History and Innovation. For the first theme, the concept of ecology is analyzed through meaning, metaphors and models in order to better understand the interaction of markets with state policies and the ecosystem. The second theme, history, will focus on changing environmental views of each region and the local beliefs towards the natural world. Finally, in the innovation section, speakers will explore the ways individuals and groups engage with growing environmental problems by creating or refurbishing new technological and organizational systems.
