SUMMARY:Co-Benefits of Human Well-being and Planetary Health
DESCRIPTION:Ecological Civilization moves away from modern industrial civilization. The signs of the times have demonstrated that it will be the next stage of human development. The 17th International Forum on Ecological Civilization and the 6th International Youth Forum on Ecological Civilization are taking place in this context. They seek to further promote ecological civilization through research and practice and effectively address current ecological crises facing global community. The forums are scheduled to be held on May 24 – May 25\, 2024\, in Claremont\, CA. \nThe Claremont Eco Forum (a.k.a. the International Forum on Ecological Civilization) is a premier platform for the promotion of ecological civilization facilitated by the Institute for Postmodern Development of China (IPDC). It is the very first and most influential international ecological civilization forum held in the United States\, having been co-hosted by IPDC\, the Center for Process Studies\, Pitzer College\, Claremont Graduate University\, and their domestic and international partners since 2006. Over the years\, this annual forum has drawn together thousands of creative academics\, activists\, non-profit leaders\, and governmental officials who are dedicated to rethinking our society toward an ecological civilization. With its broad impact on the international community\, the Forum has been repeatedly reported by major domestic and international media outlets\, such as Xinhua News Agency\, People’s Daily\, International Daily News\, and US-Sino Times\, etc. In 2022\, video recordings from the 15th International Forum on Ecological Civilization reached over 12 million views worldwide. \nIn 2018\, a Youth Forum was developed from the International Forum on Ecological Civilization. The two forums have been held jointly for the past five years. The 6th International Youth Forum on Ecological Civilization brings together young leaders from around the world to collaboratively explore new concepts and practices for the creation of an ecological civilization. \nSee official program: 17th forum program

SUMMARY:Deep Transformation for Ecological Civilization
DESCRIPTION:16th International Forum on Ecological Civilization | 5th International Youth Forum on Ecological Civilization\n\n\n\n\n\n2023 FOCUS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdvocates of ecological civilization believe that addressing the complex social and environmental problems facing humanity today requires transformation at the deepest levels—confronting core assumptions about what the world is like and what it means to be human\, in order to guide a restructuring of the way human life is organized to be more sustainable and equitable. But how does deep transformation occur? That is the central question of this year’s International Forum on Ecological Civilization. Over the course of three days\, we’ll explore strategies for transforming self\, systems\, and society that can be employed to create an ecological civilization. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1: MAY 25/MAY 26\n\n\n\n\nTRANSFORMING SELF\n\n\n\n\n\nDoes changing the world begin within? Many experts believe that social transformation begins with inner transformation. From spirituality to psychology and more\, on this day of the Claremont Eco Forum we’ll engage proposals from experts on how to change hearts and minds for flourishing. \n\n\n\n8:30am – 9:00am (Los Angeles Time) | 4:30pm – 5:00pm (London Time)\n\nInformal Social Time\n\n\n9:00am – 10:30am (Los Angeles Time) | 5:00pm – 6:30pm (London Time)\n\nPlenary Panel Discussion: “Transforming Self for Ecological Civilization”\nFeaturing: Fr.

Both? Neither? Is it simply about changing laws\, replacing people in power\, or is more required? Taking a look at contemporary social movements and theories of systems change\, on this day of the Claremont Eco Forum we’ll engage proposals from experts on how to change society for the long-term wellbeing of people and the planet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8:30am – 9:00am (Los Angeles Time) | 4:30pm – 5:00pm (London Time)\n\nInformal Social Time\n\n\n9:00am – 10:30am (Los Angeles Time) | 5:00pm – 6:30pm (London Time)\n\nPlenary Panel Discussion: “Transforming Society for Ecological Civilization”\nFeaturing: Violeta Bulc\, Helena Norberg-Hodge\, Attila Grandpierre\, Alexander Kopytin\, and Philip Clayton (moderator)\n\n\n10:30am – 10:45am (Los Angeles Time) | 6:30pm – 6:45pm (London Time)\n\nMusical Performance by The Gravel Yard\n\n\n10:45am – 12:00pm (Los Angeles Time) | 6:45pm – 8:00pm (London Time)\n\nWorking Group Discussions\n\n\n5:30pm – 6:00pm (Los Angeles Time) | May 26 @ 8:30am – 9:00am (Beijing Time)\n\nInformal Social Time\n\n\n6:00pm – 7:30pm (Los Angeles Time) | May 27 @ 9:00am – 10:30am (Beijing Time)\n\nPlenary Panel Discussion: “Transforming Self for Ecological Civilization”\nFeaturing: Riane Eisler\, Wen Teijun\, Hiheon Kim\, Jonathan Dickstein\, and Sukhyun Park (moderator)\n\n\n7:30pm – 7:45pm (Los Angeles Time) | May 27 @ 10:30am – 10:45am (Beijing Time)\n\nMusical Performance by TBA\n\n\n7:45pm – 9:00pm (Los Angeles Time) | May 27 @ 10:45am – 12:00pm (Beijing Time)\n\nWorking Group Discussions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDAY 3: MAY 27/MAY 28\n\n\n\n\nTRANSFORMING FUTURE\n\n\n\n\n\nIf previous generations broke the world\, can a younger generation fix it?

SUMMARY:15th International Forum on Ecological Civilization
DESCRIPTION:ECOLOGICAL CIVILIZATION IN RELATIONAL CONTEXT:\nBuilding Regenerative Communities of Communities\n15th International Forum on Ecological Civilization | 4th International Youth Forum on Ecological Civilization\n\nDESCRIPTION\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat does ecological civilization look like in unique local settings around the world\, and what lessons can we learn from one another about building sustainable and equitable communities of communities? From ecovillages\, to urban coops\, and more\, this year’s Claremont Eco Forum invites experts\, policymakers\, and creative practitioners to explore together how the framework of ecological civilization can be\, and is being\, realized in various local contexts around the globe. \nLife takes place in local contexts. While work on civilizational-level change of how human life is to be reorganized on a global scale may sound like “big” and abstract work\, it’s actually vital that these big ideas be brought down to earth and are given street addresses. Strong local communities are the cornerstone of a truly ecological civilization. It’s at the local level that new forms of community are modeled and where an ecological civilization emerges. So\, what does ecological civilization look like in practices\, on the ground\, in local contexts? Answering this question is the goal of the 2022 Claremont Eco Forum (which is the 15 International Forum on Ecological Civilization\, and the 4th International Youth Forum on Ecological Civilization). \nYou’re invited to contribute to creative solutions toward the long-term wellbeing of people and the planet! This year\, we joint together the 15th International Forum and 4rd International Youth Forum in fully online and 100% collaborative exploration on 3 themes: \n\nDay 1: Eco Villages\nDay 2: Eco Cities\nDay 3: Eco Digital Communities\n\n

SUMMARY:Ecological Civilization and Organic Communitarianism
DESCRIPTION:Six days of international dialogue on the most important challenges we face:\nrethinking governance\, economies\, food\, education\, communities\, and more.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDESCRIPTION\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Claremont Eco Forum (a.k.a. the International Forum on Ecological Civilization) continues to be one of the largest forums on ecological civilization in the world. Since 2006\, this annual forum has drawn together a global cohort of creative academics\, activists\, artists\, non-profit leaders\, and governmental officials who are dedicated to rethinking our society toward an ecological civilization. \nYou’re invited to contribute to creative solutions toward the long-term wellbeing of people and the planet! This year\, we joint together the 14th International Forum and 3rd International Youth Forum in fully online and 100% collaborative exploration on six themes: \n\nDay 1: Politics\, Law\, & Governance in a World That Works for All\nDay 2: Economies for Wellbeing and Planetary Flourishing\nDay 3: Food & Farming for Future Generations\nDay 4: Education for Sustainability and Social Change\nDay 5: Communities & Cultures for the Common Good\nDay 6: Youth and the Ecological Generation\n\nWe think an ecological civilization will emerge by working together. So rather than a series of one-sided lectures like most conferences\, this year’s international forum will involve two types of sessions: 1) plenary dialogues featuring panels of experts from around the world\, and 2) small working group where all conference attendees will have a chance to contribute ideas on the vision\, values\, and structures needed to build an ecological civilization. Each day will focus on a particular topic (law\, economies\, farming\, education\, communities) with the last day exploring the interconnection of all topics and lead by Youth. Scholars who want to share more formal presentations of their research are encouraged to submit papers and/or pre-recorded lectures to be uploaded to the conference website which will serve as a resource hub for those who want to know more about ecological civilization. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWELCOME MESSAGES\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Cobb\, ecological civilization expert\, explains the history and significance of this international forum on ecological civilization. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nQingsong Liu\, Vice President and Secretary-General of China Ecological Civilization Research and Promotion Association (CECRPA) gives welcome message for 14th International Forum on Ecological Civilization. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeeyeon Cho\, Superintendent of Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education\, gives a welcome address for the Claremont Eco Forum\, and discusses transformation in education. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJinfeng Zhou\, Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation\, gives a welcome address for the Claremont Eco Forum. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome message from Budapest Center for Long-Term Sustainability\, featuring Norbert Csizmadia and Attila Grandpierre. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome message from Meijun Fan\, Program Director of the Institute for Postmodern Development of China\, and organizer of the Claremont Eco Forum. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWm. Andrew Schwartz\, Executive Director of the Center for Process Studies and Co-Organizer of the 14th International Forum on Ecological Civilization welcomes participants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAREAS OF FOCUS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPolitics\, Law\, and Governance in a World that Works for All \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPolitical\, legal\, and governance structures provide the frame for the policies that dominate human social organization. We need a paradigm shift in law and politics if we are to advance policies for the wellbeing of people and the planet. What do political systems look like in an ecological civilization? Where have modern political models failed\, and what transformations are required to build a world that works for all? What about the rights of nature? How can our legal paradigms be shifted to promote long-term social and environmental wellbeing? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEconomies for Wellbeing and Planetary Flourishing \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur economic system is broken. Exploitation of people and the planet for profit and power has resulted in an unprecedented concentration of wealth. Unlimited growth and corporate rule cannot continue if we are to transition toward an ecological civilization. We need economies designed for wellbeing and planetary flourishing. From issues like growth\, ownership\, environment\, and more\, we’ll explore sharing economies\, circular economies\, and models for wellbeing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFood and Farming for Future Generations \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEveryone needs to eat. Yet shortsighted industrialized farming and soil depletion put the wellbeing of future generations at risk. An ecological civilization requires regenerative agriculture systems that prioritize biodiversity and soil health. From ancient and indigenous practices\, to polycultures\, perennials\, animals\, and more\, we’ll be exploring the most promising ways to feed the world for generations to come. \nEducation for Sustainability and Social Change \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLife-affirming education is key to building an ecological civilization. We need a paradigm shift in education that cuts across disciplines and transcends value-free research in order to find solutions to complex social-environmental challenges. In short\, we need education with a purpose. We’ll explore the transformation of education for sustainability and social change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommunities and Cultures for the Common Good \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn ecological civilization will be built on the cornerstone of strong local communities capable of participating in global communities of communities. Yet violence and tribalism flow from the scarcity mindsets that separate “us” from “them.” Rethinking community and culture\, belonging and identity\, for peace\, harmony\, and the common good is fundamental to achieving an ecological civilization. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYouth and the Ecological Generation \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn many ways\, the realization of an ecological civilization depends on the leadership of our youth (Millennials and Gen Z). The very lives that will be most effected by social-environmental failure are also the voices most sensitive to need for systems change. The last day of our forum will explore how the topics covered in previous days are all interconnected and how the emerging ecological generation can lead a paradigm shift for the long-term wellbeing of people and the planet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFORMAT & GOALS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNot Your Typical Conference\nThe goal of this event is to deepen and widen understanding about the kind of values\, worldviews\, policies\, and actions needed to transition toward an ecological civilization. That entails getting to the root causes of our complex and interconnected social-environmental challenges\, and building a new civilization around a life-affirming ecological paradigm for the long-term wellbeing of people and the planet. Hence\, this year’s international forum on ecological civilization will be dialogical and solutions-oriented in nature.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPLENARY SESSIONS\nEach day will begin with a 1hr plenaries panel discussion featuring leading thinkers that will inspire\, inform\, and guide conference conversations. These sessions will be simultaneously translated (currently English\, Korean\, and Mandarin). These moderated conversations will be guided by fundamental questions including those submitted in real time by conference participants. Learn more about our plenary panels. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBREAKOUT GROUPS\nThe majority of our time together will be spent in breakout groups focusing on the topic of the day. Following the plenary panel\, conference participants will be sorted into small groups for 2hrs of constructive dialogue\, aided by the “Discussion Guide for Ecological Civilization” document. This isn’t a time to merely observe\, but to engage! In live Zoom conversation with other conference participants from around the world\, representing a vast array of knowledge and experience\, these each small group explore and articulate the values\, worldviews\, policies\, and actions needed for transitioning toward an ecological civilization. Each group will assign a notetaker. Notes from these small group discussion sessions will be collected and synthesized into a common vision for transformation in the key areas being explored in this conference\, representing a commitment to a global paradigm shift for the long-term wellbeing of people and the planet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the video to learn more about breakout groups and how to use the Discussion Guide for Ecological Civilization. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNO PAPER READING\nTired of academic conferences where scholars read papers at one another in a series of opaque monologues? So are we! That’s why our international forum is designed around interactive and constructive dialogue. Yet there is still a need for in-depth research by experts. That’s why we invite conference participants to submit written papers and recorded presentations of their research to be uploaded on the conference website prior to the live event. These resources will provide background knowledge for the conference discussions and an ongoing knowledge hub for ecological civilization after the conference. \n_____________________________________ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGUIDING PRINCIPLES\n“In academic circles we often explore problems in great depth but fail to come up with creative ways to solve problems. Consequently we end up knowing a lot about problems but little about how to solve them—so we often end up failing to make a difference. As I wrestled with this challenge it occurred to me that there are at least four questions that we might fruitfully address: \n\nWhat do we think we know?\nWhat is the narrative that informs our interpretation of the world we live in\nWhat kind of difference do we want to make?\nHow can we begin to make that difference?”\n\n— Fred Kirshenmann\, Cultivating an Ecological Conscience \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n_____________________________________ \n2022 SCHEDULE\n\n\n\nDAY 1 | May 21\, 2021\nPolitics\, Law\, and Governance in a World that Works for All \n5:00-6:00pm (Los Angeles Time) — Plenary Panel Dialogue \n\nPanelists: Karenna Gore\, Kusmil Kang\, Jianjun Zhao\, Michelle Bender\, Joe Bowersox (Moderator)\n\n6:00-8:00pm (Los Angeles Time) — Working Group Discussions \n\nConference attendees work together in small groups to articulate the values\, worldviews\, policies\, and/or actions need to to transform politics\, law\, and governance for an ecological civilization.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDAY 2 | May 22\, 2021\nEconomies for Wellbeing and Planetary Flourishing \n5:00-6:00pm (Los Angeles Time) — Plenary Panel Dialogue \n\nPanelists: Natalie Foster\, Wen Tiejun\, Julia Kim\, Mark Anielski\, Gunna Jung (Moderator)\n\n6:00-8:00pm (Los Angeles Time) — Working Group Discussions \n\nConference attendees work together in small groups to articulate the values\, worldviews\, policies\, and/or actions need to to transform economies for an ecological civilization.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDAY 3 | May 23\, 2021\nFood and Farming for Future Generations \n5:00-6:00pm (Los Angeles Time) — Plenary Panel Dialogue \n\nPanelists: Ok-Byung Bae\, Gaoming Jiang\, Eduard Muller\, Shi Yan\, Angela Yu (Moderator)\n\n6:00-8:00pm (Los Angeles Time) — Working Group Discussions \n\nConference attendees work together in small groups to articulate the values\, worldviews\, policies\, and/or actions need to for rethinking food and transforming agriculture for an ecological civilization.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDAY 4 | May 24\, 2021\nEducation for Sustainability and Social Change \n5:00-6:00pm (Los Angeles Time) — Plenary Panel Dialogue \n\nPanelists: Jianzhen He\, David Orr\, Heeyeon Cho\, Mirian Vilela\, Sandra Lubarsky (Moderator)\n\n6:00-8:00pm (Los Angeles Time) — Working Group Discussions \n\nConference attendees work together in small groups to articulate the values\, worldviews\, policies\, and/or actions needed to transform education for an ecological civilization.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDAY 5 | May 25\, 2021\nCommunities and Cultures for the Common Good \n5:00-6:00pm (Los Angeles Time) — Plenary Panel Dialogue \n\nPanelists: Mona Polacca\, David Bollier\, Kongjian Yu\, Seonae Jeong\, Philip Clayton (Moderator)\n\n6:00-8:00pm (Los Angeles Time) — Working Group Discussions \n\nConference attendees work together in small groups to articulate the values\, worldviews\, policies\, and/or actions needed to transform communities and cultures for an ecological civilization.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDAY 6 | May 26\, 2021\nYouth and the Ecological Generation \n5:00-6:00pm (Los Angeles Time) — Plenary Panel Dialogue \n\nPanelists: Maddy Hooker\, Luo Yi\, Tristan Norman\, Jang YunSeok\, Andrew M.

SUMMARY:Ecological Civilization and Symbiotic Development
DESCRIPTION:12th International Forum on Ecological Civilization\nTime：April 27-28\, 2018\nLocation：Benson Auditorium\, Pitzer College\n1050 N. Mills Avenue\, Claremont\, CA 91711\nRelated News \n\n“共生”之辩：12届生态文明国际论坛在美举办\n\n  \nConference Purpose \nIt is no secret that both China and the world are facing many disturbing problems today\, and that we are heading in the direction of an ecological catastrophe. Finding an alternative to the current form of modernization has become an urgent issue. What are the root causes of the current crisis? What are the philosophical\, political\, economic\, and cultural foundations of this crisis? How do we step out of this predicament and avoid destroying the earth’s ecosystems? Are there alternatives to the Western civilization that has formed the modern era? Is a new civilization—an ecological civilization―possible? What is “ecological civilization”? What are its philosophical foundations and its social\, political\, and economic implications? What kinds of kinds of sustainable practices are emerging today that may help us to create an ecological society? What kind of role can China play in creating an ecological civilization? The 12th International Forum on Ecological Civilization will contribute fresh reflection on these burning questions from an organic\, relational\, non-dualistic perspective that is far more congenial to classical Asian thinking in general\, Chinese in particular. \n  \nCosponsors: \nThis Conference will be hosted by the Institute for Postmodern Development of China\, EcoCiv\, the Center for Process Studies\, Pitzer College\, Claremont Graduate University\, The South China Institute of Environmental Science\, the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China\, Huanghe Science and Technology College\, and others. \n  \nPlenary speakers: \nJohn B.
