20240621 Yalies and Chinese Scholars on Ecological Civilization and Traditional Chinese Thought

Ecological Civilization implies moving from an industrial society that is polluting land, air, and water to an ecological civilization that provides a basis for the well-being and health of both people and the planet. How to do this in relation to environmental issues, such as climate change, is a challenge that will require creative solutions.
On June 21, Mary Evelyn Tucker, Co-director of Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology, was joined by Xinzhong Yao, former Dean of the School of Philosophy at Renmin University of China, and Yufang Gao MS '14, PhD '23, Founder and Director of Conservation Edgewalkers, to discuss how we can draw ethical perspectives from traditional Chinese thought.
