China Planet: Environmental Implications of the Rise of China
What are the environmental implications of the rise of China? How will it affect global climate change? In this talk, Prof. Judith Shapiro will share her personal experiences with China’s environmental movement and reflect on what China’s new superpower status means for climate change, resources extraction, and global biodiversity. Will “ecological civilization” save the planet or destroy it? Professor Shapiro will argue that the future of the world lies with China and if we can encourage students to get interested and involved at an early age, that will be an important contribution to the sustainability of our planet. Moreover, her work is intended to give educators who might not be China experts or environmental expert the tools to bring the topic into their classrooms.
