Event
The Role of Civil Society in Addressing China’s Environment
In concert with an all-day symposium, a lunchtime talk on the role of civil society in protecting China’s environment.
The focus of global attention in recent years has been on China’s top-down, state-driven approach to environmental protection and “ecological civilization.”
What role is there for China’s civil society groups these days? How do they approach their work? What are the opportunities and risks involved? We are joined by several of China’s leading environmental advocates to discuss this important topic. Lunch will be provided.
