On November 15th-16th of 2019 the International Forum “Ecological Economics and Ecological Civilization” will be held at the School of Economics, Peking University.
Marked by the foundation of the International Society for Ecological Economics (in 1988) and the initial publication of the Ecological Economics journal (in 1989), Ecological Economics has withstood all rain and shine for 30 years. Still a fledgling discipline today, Ecological Economics was born from the introspection on relevant traditional disciplines, and evolved under the threat of multiple global ecological crises. The original spark was tiny, yet after decades of exploration and improvement, the ideas of Ecological Economics have now enkindled the whole globe. This dynamic newly born youngster has great potential for both further theoretical innovation and for practical promotion of the welfare of the entire human race. China was the first country in the world to come up with the idea of developing Ecological Economics as a discipline in the early 1980s, but to ensure the continued prosperity of such a new discipline in China, we need to encourage enthusiastic participation from young researchers, and provide visionary guidance from the elders.
China is about to celebrate the 70th birthday of the PRC. In the last 70 years, our country has amazed the world with its immense economic and social achievements, and it is now also taking strong measures to achieve ecological and environmental preservation. The government today has placed increasing emphases on sustainable development, both social and economic; has implemented a series of crucial decisions in that direction, viewing progress towards an "Ecological Civilization" as the answer to China’s quest for continued flourishing; and has written the goal of transformation into an “Ecological Civilization” into China’s constitution. This offers an unprecedented opportunity. We plan to rejuvenate the theoretical development of the discipline of Ecological Economics in China, and use it in practice to achieve our vision of the Ecological Civilization.
As the oldest economic school in China, The PKU School of Economics has always taken the dictum of Zhang Zai as our goal: “For god and for the people – pass down ideas and bring about peace.” We have always played an active part in research and policy-making tightly linked to the nation’s future. At this critical time in our history, we will hold a forum to host the best researchers and experts from around the world under one roof, to share and discuss progress in theoretical developments, system reforms, and substantive methodological and practical achievements, and to envision both a theoretical and practical future for Ecological Economics and Ecological Civilization. We hope to lay out a path for the future of Ecological Economics by integrating theoretical ideas with hard facts and invaluable experience.
Autumn at Peking University is a lovely time, with the glorious yellow color of the ginkgo tree leaves carpeting your path. It is our great honor to invite the best experts and scholars from around the world. Welcome your participation!
