校庆报告 | Facing the Anthropocene:The Role of Education

The multifaceted nature and urgency of the climate crisis require international, interdisciplinary, and collaborative approaches to transform education and consequently stimulate cultural shifts toward more sustainable planetary futures. This challenge cannot be solved through research solely focused on technical solutions, but requires a critical interrogation of underlying assumptions about knowledge, education, and social change. This talk will examine the role and responsibility of education institutions in fostering the critical imagination necessary for cultural transformation in the face of the Anthropocene. How can we mobilize the power of science, art, and imagination in responding to the climate crisis emergency? How can we reshape the relationship between education and sustainability agenda in ways that effectively integrate different knowledge ecosystems, bridge the research-practice divide, and prioritize planetary wellbeing? And how can we maximize the impact of our research on policy and practice?
