SUMMARY:The Most Important Lessons from COVID-19: A Conversation About Global Systems Change
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Friday at 10 a.m. EST for a virtual panel with leaders from around the world on COVID-19 and the need for global systems change. Featuring Mamphela Ramphele\, Vandana Shiva\, Gunna Jung\, Jeremy Lent and Elliott Harris. \n\n\n\n\nAs world leaders struggle to address the coronavirus pandemic\, one thing has become certain: this is more than a health crisis. From Covid’s impact on economic systems\, ecological systems\, and systems of production and consumption\, to its effects on systems of governance\, to its exacerbation of injustices experienced by the poor and vulnerable ― it’s clear that the global challenges we face are all interconnected. Listen as EcoCiv brings together experts from around the world for a probing conversation on today’s global crisis and why a systems approach to civilizational change is fundamental for a healthy future.\nJOIN LIVE\nCLICK HERE\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:12th International Whitehead Conference: Process as Creativity–Process as Concern
DESCRIPTION:Taking place on the beautiful campus of the University of Brasilia in Brasilia\, Brazil\, the 12th International Whitehead Conference will address of creativity and concern in the framework of broader discussions of Whitehead’s philosophy and its impact. Following from the 11th IWC which focused on Nature in Process\, this conference will welcome contributions dealing with creativity and concern with the planet – and how the two intertwine. In general\, the focus is the contrast between self-interested lush and the lure for responsibility. \nThe first IWC in Latin America – a continent plagued by disastrous colonial endeavors – intends to reverberate the local tension between the expansion of a mode of life and the covering-up of the other\, in the apt phrase of Enrique Dussel. \n  \n  \nCall for Papers \nScholars are invited to submit papers for the conference\, which is divided into the following sections: \n\nWhitehead\, speculation and contemporary metaphysics\nWhitehead\, aesthetics and the philosophy of creativity\nWhitehead and modern philosophy\nWhitehead and Ecological Civilization: Ecology\, Ethics\, Economics\, and Law\nWhitehead\, Mathematics\, Logic\, and Natural Sciences (Informatics/Cosmology/Physics/Biology/Chemistry\, etc.)\nProcess thought and feminism\nWhitehead and continental philosophy\nWhitehead and Eastern philosophies\nAmerindian animism and process thought\nProcess philosophy in Latin America\nWhitehead and theology\nWhitehead and Education\n\n  \nAbstracts of 400 words outlining your proposal are due March 31\, 2019. \nFor more details about the call for papers and where to submit them\, go here \n  \nYoung Scholars Award (under 35 years old) \nThere will be two Young Scholars Awards. The winners will be announced  on the IPN website. The award includes airfare and conference fee for the 12th International Whitehead Conference in Brazil\, as well as publication of papers in the conference proceedings. The papers should be prepared for anonymous evaluation (with the data about the author on a separate sheet) and should be submitted electronically at the following e-mail address: dzhadiaiev@windowslive.com. \n

SUMMARY:Ecological Civilization and Holistic Human Development
DESCRIPTION:13th International Forum on Ecological Civilization \n2nd International Youth Forum on Ecological Civilization \nAs a positive vision of human flourishing\, ecological civilization is about more than what we can do\, it involves who we can become. It’s not merely about having more or doing more\, but about being more. Being an “eco-person” speaks to the deeper motivations behind the kinds of actions we need to take in response to our complex social and environmental crisis. The development of eco-persons is connected with the qualitative measure of meaningful relationships\, and not simply with quantitative measures of carbon\, money\, or degrees in temperature. Who we are is more than what we do. It’s this something more that lies at the intersection of the ecological civilization movement and holistic human development\, and serves as the theme for the 13th International Forum on Ecological Civilization. \nThe forum will bring together creative academics\, non-profit leaders\, governmental officials\, and leading activists to explore new models of holistic human development in the transition toward ecological civilization. \nPossible topics include but are not limited to:  \n\nWhat does it mean to be human in the context of ecological civilization?\nHow might holistic human development advance the movement toward ecological civilization?\nWhat changes are needed to promote human dignity for all people? \nHow might economic systems be restructured for the flourishing of all life? \nWhat is the role of family and community in promoting healthy human relationships?\nHow might human relations to nature be reconceived for mutual well-being?\nWhat does it mean to be an “eco-person” and how can we cultivate this quality?\nCan systems of governance\, law\, and justice\, be restructured for holistic human development? If so\, what will these new systems look like and how do we begin the transition now?\nHow should systems of education be structured to enhance holistic human development?\nIs religion and/or spirituality necessary for holistic human development?\n\n  \nCall for Papers:\nIf you would like to present at this international gathering\, please submit a 500 word abstract outlining your proposal. The deadline to submit your abstract is December 31\, 2018. Proposals should be sent via the online form here.\n \n  \nYouth Forum:\nThe 2nd International Youth Forum on Ecological Civilization will bring together students\, activists\, and leaders from around the world to explore new models of holistic human development in the transition toward ecological civilization. The forum in formatted as a discussion. If you would like to participate in this Int’l Youth Forum\, please contact Dr. John Becker at jbecker@postmodernchina.org.

SUMMARY:Can Exceptional Experience Help Save the World?
DESCRIPTION:This conference will explore applying the insights from process philosophy and transpersonal psychology to the issues we are facing today. How can we bring our understandings into the world to create a more sustainable\, just\, and humane civilization for future generations? \nOur aim will be to explore how Whitehead’s metaphysics can be applied to connect insights from transpersonal psychology with fostering sustainable\, ecological civilization. We see this as an opportunity to build strategic relationships and develop some mechanisms for the social change necessary for humanity to not only survive\, but thrive. Some basic questions we plan to explore are: How can we best understand exceptional experience? How can we more fully integrate such experience into science and culture? How can exceptional experience be leveraged to address the global crisis?

SUMMARY:International Forum on Ecological Urban Development and Regeneration
DESCRIPTION:PURPOSE \nKorean society has been rapidly urbanized since 1960s. As more than 80% of Korean people are living in urban areas\, South Korea is the highest urbanized country in the world. In particular\, the four cities in the Northeast that have a long history as a residential area in Seoul have undergone urban decline (86.4% of urban decline exceeding 65.9% of the nation and 79.4% of Seoul average). Therefore\, not only The urban regeneration projects that rebuild the citizens’ residential zones have implemented in various places\, but also the economy-based urban regeneration project\, so called ‘Changdong-Sangye Project’ to develop this area into one of the economic hubs of Metropolitan Seoul.\nMeanwhile\, the environmental problem indicated by global climate change is becoming increasingly serious\, exacerbated by the rapid overpopulation of cities and the various urban activities that degrade the natural environment — including the use of fossil fuels and various chemical substances\, contaminated waste emission\, and deforestation. The sustainability of urban residents’ health and livelihoods are directly threatened by grave challenges such as yellow dust\, heat waves\, and highly pathogenic virus infections such as the avian influenza.\nThus\, an ecological reorientation is essential for the future of the city. There is an urgent need for a paradigm shift away from the current urban development model of modern industrial society\, which forces an arbitrary choice between economic and environmental concerns and demands environmental crisis as the price for economic growth. The overall direction of urban regeneration in response to decline must also be an urban generation guided by ecological values. The economic urban regeneration project in progress within the Northeast Four Boroughs must also proceed in a manner that increases the long-term sustainability and resilience of the megapolis of Seoul.\nThe Northeast districts contain a beautiful natural environment\, and has a history of successful local community participation and cooperation. On the other hand\, this region has also long suffered from the neglected and inadequate infrastructure and economic stagnation. In that regard\, the regeneration of the Northeast Four Boroughs must accomplish two-fold tasks: increase ecological sustainability of the region at large\, while also improving the residents’ economic opportunities.\nThe 2018 Seoul International Forum on the Northeast Four Boroughs shares these principles\, and offers an opportunity to propose and discuss visions for the direction and strategy for the Northeast Fourth Borough regeneration. The forum will proceed in two parts. The first half\, “Ecological Urban Regeneration” International Forum\,” will introduce the national trends in urban ecological transition\, and discuss those strategies and paths most appropriate for the characteristics of the region. The second part “Workshop on Gevernance\, Resilience & Local Empowerment” will discuss governance for ecological city regeneration\, community participation and empowerment\, as well as the potential for international correspondence and collaboration. \n  \nTENTATIVE SCHEDULE \n12:50~13:00 | Registration\n13:00~13:10 | Opening Ceremony & Musical Performance\n13:10~13:20 |  Welcoming Address Beom Park (Head of Seoul NE Area Public Project)\n20:10~20:30 |  Keynote Speech 1 Big History and the Era of Coexistence :\nSunghwan Kim (National Congressman)\n[Session 1]: Toward an Urban Ecological Transition\n13:40~14:10 |  Keynote Speech 2 Key Elements of Ecological Civilization: Locality and Resilience: David Korten\n14:10~14:35 |  Presentation 1 Ecological Transition and Urbanism: Andrew Schwartz\n14:35~15:00 | Presentation 2 Sustainability\, Urban Development\, and Regeneration: Case Studies in China\, Germany\, and the U.S.\, Zack Walsh\n15:00~15:45 | Discussion and Q&A\nChair: Gunna Jung (Professor\, Hanshin University)\n15:45~16:00 | Break & Networking\n[Session 2]: Ecological Regeneration of Northeast Four Boroughs of Seoul\n16:00~16:20 | Presentation 1 Urban Regeneration Policy and Ecological Transition\nTaewon Park (Urban Planning\, Kwangwoon University)\n16:20~16:40 | Presentation 2 Urban Regeneration and the Future of the N.E Seoul\nJaekyung Lee (former Seoul City Council Legislative Adviser)\n16:40~17:00 | Presentation 3 Strategies for Sustainable Development in the N.E Seoul\nSuncheol Jung (Head\, Northeast Seoul Center for Urban Regeneration and Local Collaboration)\n17:00~17:45 | Round-table Discussion Chair: Giho Yi (Professor\, Hanshin University) David Korten\, Andrew Schwartz\, Zack Walsh \n2) 2018 International Workshop on Governance\, Resilience & Local Empowerment\nChair: Giho Yi (Professor\, Hanshin University) \n[LOCATION CHANGE] \n19:20~19:30 | Registration\n19:30~19:50 | Presentation 1 Civic Engagement in Urban Regeneration\, YI Kiho (Professor.

SUMMARY:International Conference for Ecozoic Culture
DESCRIPTION:“Ecological Transformation on the Korean Peninsula and in East Asia” \nRecently\, the world witnessed the Korean Peninsula taking a huge first step toward a peace regime. With the inter-Korean summit and the US-North Korea summit that address agendas left from the 20th century\, there is already a sense of peace and hope that can be felt on the Korean peninsula. However\, right now\, far into the 21st century\, great shadows loom over our world. The climate change is taking effect all over the globe and we hear of many new diseases every year. These are just a few of the signs that point to the destruction of our global ecosystem amidst wary forecasts of an era of “machine-fused humans” and “genetic manipulation” enabled by artificial intelligence technology. \nWhat can we do to positively integrate the changes of this great transition into a journey toward the realization of an ecological civilization? Will the rapidly advancing science & technology and a sustainable future of the global community be able to converge at some point? What values and practices are expected of East Asia and the global community in light of the great transition taking place on the Korean peninsula? What system changes should go hand in hand with the ecological awakening within ourselves and the social culture? Will we be able to create subjects\, bodies and individuals that match the new values and lifestyles? \nAt a crossroad of crisis and hope\, the International Conference for Ecozoic Culture 2018 held under the theme of “Ecological Transformation on the Korean Peninsula and in East Asia” is to become an arena for searching the answers to these questions. The conference has two goals it hopes to achieve. Firstly\, to examine the efforts of various areas such as global environmental protection\, social economy and sustainable cities as parts of the big forest that is ecological civilization\, and to create various meanings by sharing goals. Secondly\, to link the changes in East Asia\, especially the Korean peninsula\, China and Japan to the values and practices of this ecological civilization\, and in turn creating an opportunity for global citizens to establish a “fellowship of light.” \nThe conference takes place in Paju\, a historical place that can be called the last border of the Cold War left in our world today. We will conclude the three-day conference in Paju\, with a declaration that embodies our beliefs and endeavors\, the start of our meaningful journey together. \n\nTENTATIVE SCHEDULE \nOctober 12\, 2018 (Friday) \n-15:00 | Registration \n15:00 | Opening Ceremony \n\nOpening Speech: Kumsil Kang\nCongratulatory Speech: (2-3 people)\n\n15:20 | Session 1 Dialog: Earth and People\, Dots in the Universe \nTo set the tone of the conference\, the session features discussions on main themes and concepts of the conference.

SUMMARY:Civilizational Transition and the Role of the Cities
DESCRIPTION:BACKGROUND \nRecently\, Seoul citizens are suffering from a record-breaking heat wave and fine dust. The government regards the heat wave as one of the major disasters. Such a drastic climate change is happening all the cities around the world. Not only human dwelling but also habitats of plants and animals are greatly affected by climate change. Moreover\, deep-sea fish\, which seem to be irrelevant with human activities on earth\, are threatened by micro-plastics. Since the Rio Earth Charter in 1992\, the world has been engaging in discussions on sustainable growth and developing international agreements. Still\, our future does not seem so bright. Besides climate change\, human society has many problems of extreme wealth gap\, inequality\, and violence. Many countries including Korea have issues of aging population and low birth rates\, facing a bleak future. Growth is staggering\, and the younger generation is suffering from unemployment. Would development of civilization end up with destruction of our society\, cities\, and life on earth? Is there no alternative for us? Would a city\, one of the fruits of civilization\, guarantee us happiness as it has done so far? Don’t we need a progressive way of thinking for transition of civilization and new initiative? To find an answer\, we would like to hold “Transition City Seoul\, International Conference.” Mayor Park Won-soon\, who has led the city for the last six years\, will be announcing his vision for Transition City Seoul\, a goal that will be accomplished with citizens for the next four years. We will share his idea of what the transition of civilization means and where the mega city Seoul should go. \nFollowing Mayor Park’s keynote speech\, we will listen to great scholars’ presentations on the spirit of the times in the first session\, “Transition of Civilization and the Challenges Facing Cities.” John B. Cobb\, the Co-founder and current co-director of the Center for Process Studies in Claremont\, California\, David Korten\, the former professor of the Harvard Business School\, and Myung-rae Cho\, the president of Korea Environment Institute will give presentations and participate in a discussion about the transition of civilization that we needs to achieve. \nIn the second session\, we will look at global experiments for transition of civilization. The first presenter Wen Tiejun\, the professor at Institute of Advanced Studies for Sustainability\, Renmin University of China will share China’s policies and practices for Ecological Civilization. The second presentation will be given by Charles Sheehan from San Francisco Public Utilities Commission\, about San Francisco’s initiative for a society without fossil fuel. The third presenter Yong-nam Park\, the head of Sustainable City Research Center\, will introduce innovative cases of Central and South American cities including Curitiba in Brazil. Indeed\, cities\, where half of the world population are living\, cause problems\, but at the same time\, might be a solution by itself. \nIn the third session\, we will listen to the story of Seoul. Our presenters will share the changes and challenge of the city for the last 6 years: Yu-jin Lee\, the research fellow of Institute for Green Transformation\, who has led Seoul’s energy policy from One-Less Nuclear Power Plant Initiative to solar power; Shin-hae Lee\, the senior research fellow of the Seoul Institute\, who has contributed to establishing “Walkable City Seoul”; Jong-hui Kim\, the president of Seongbuk Cultural Foundation\, who has actively led the initiative of Sharing City Seoul; and the head of Sustainable Growth Committee of the Seoul Metropolitan Government. For the last session\, we will have a comprehensive discussion about the future of Seoul with the presenters of the first and second sessions\, and the audience. A single international conference would be not enough to discuss the transition of our civilization. Still\, we believe this conference will serve as a stepping stone to sustainable society. \n\nPURPOSE \nThe world has suffered from various problems including low growth\, long recession\, population aging\, demographic cliff\, climate change\, environmental crisis\, and collapsing community. \n\nTo overcome the crisis\, new philosophy and values\, including transition to ecological civilization\, feminism\, de-growth movement\, have combined with science and information technology development\, prompting an active discussion about alternative society.\n\nThe Seoul Metropolitan Government has contributed to social innovation\, home and abroad for the last seven years. \n\nThe SMG has implemented a variety of initiatives for urban innovation\, including One-Less Nuclear Power Plant\, Walkable City\, and Sharing City. It received 2018 Lee Kwan Yew World City Prize last March.\nSeoul is facing a number of global problems such as find dust\, youth unemployment\, and super aged society. The SMG strives to make various attempts to find solutions.\n\nThe purpose of this conference is to review attempts and experiments of the SMG and the world\, to discuss where the world cities should go\, and to form an international solidarity for transition of cities. \n\nTENTATIVE SCHEDULE \n(Keynote Speech) Mayor Park Won-soon “Profound Changes and Seoul’s Audacious Challenge” \n\nPresenting on values and directions for more profound changes for Seoul’s Ten-Year Revolution from the 5th to 7th popularly elected Mayor’s Seoul Metropolitan Government\n\n(Session 1) Transition of Civilization and the Challenges Facing Cities.

SUMMARY:Eco-Justice: Equity and Wellbeing in an Ecological Age
DESCRIPTION:Justice\, as a comprehensive ideal of what is right and good – both individually and socially – is a goal common to most faith traditions.\n\nEco-Justice broadens this ideal to specifically include the natural environment\, and the inter-connection of natural and social ecologies.\n\nThis timely and important interfaith event brings together an acclaimed panel of speakerswho will aim to strike a balance between this broader ecological perspective and the concrete tasks of eco-justice in our time. This will be followed by an “Interfaith Cafe” where we all get to engage in the conversation among smaller break-out groups\, before reconvening for our final shared thoughts.\n\nPlease RSVP and see full details in the link above.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by EcoCiv\, the Southern California Committee of the Parliament of the World’s Religions\, and All Paths Divinity School.

SUMMARY:Green Transition: Toward Ecological Civilization in Korea
DESCRIPTION:Our world is facing an unprecedented threat. If we have any hope of averting the predicted consequences of the climate crisis\, we need radical change and we need it now. Making minor adjustments that maintain the status quo is not enough. Putting green paint on unsustainable practices is not sufficient. We need a “Second Enlightenment\,” a new paradigm\, a fundamental change of framework on which we can build a more sustainable and just world—an Ecological Civilization. Such radical civilizational change will require collaboration around a shared vision for the future\, toward mutual flourishing; bringing together the best in theory and practice across all areas of society. \nThis fall\, key leaders from Korea will gather in Claremont to collaborate with US leaders around the shared vision of an ecological civilization\, and the steps needed to initiate the transition on a global scale. Participants represent leaders in national and local government\, NGOs\, universities\, journalism\, and religions. Each participant and key speaker brings a unique set of skills\, experiences\, and achievements\, critical to ushering in a new ecological paradigm. Inspired and guided by the work of John B. Cobb\, Jr. whose vision was at the heart of the 2015 Claremont conference “Seizing an Alternative: Toward an Ecological Civilization\,” we will examine big ideas toward a new paradigm for the future and how this vision is already being actualized by scholars\, activists\, governments\, and politicians\, in Korea and beyond. \nPerhaps most important\, this conference will serve as a first step toward building a Global Network for Ecological Civilization–bringing people together from around the world to collaborate on this common vision. While the 2017 Claremont conference will focus on Korea and the US\, the 2018 Seoul conference (in partnership with the City of Seoul) will focus especially on forming an active network in Asia\, that includes Korea\, China\, and Japan.

SUMMARY:Towards a Contemplative Commons
DESCRIPTION:Post-capitalism has become the subject of much recent debate\, spurred by publications from Jeremy Rifkin (2015)\, Paul Mason (2016)\, J. K. Gibson-Graham (2006)\, Left Accelerationists like Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams (2015)\, and members of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Degrowth communities. Though there is no uniform agreement among its proponents\, post-capitalism seems generally characterized by a reemergence of the commons. Realizing a successful transition to a post-capitalist\, commons-based political economy will not only depend on the capacity for new technologies and social relations to alter the balance of political and economic power; it will also depend on developing social practices that underlie a broader cultural shift. Though there exists some scholarship on the social and cultural dimensions of a commons-based transition\, there is comparatively little work that approaches its ethical and contemplative dimensions. Likewise\, though there exists some scholarship on the contemplative dimensions of social transformation and sustainability\, very little is situated in the context of the political economy. In an effort to bridge these gaps\, this workshop seeks to convene scholars and stakeholders who have an interest or expertise in developing ethical and contemplative approaches to post-capitalism and commoning. \nIf you are interested in participating\, please submit to Zack Walsh at zachary.walsh@cst.edu a CV and a one-page letter of intent explaining your interest in the topic and how it relates to your work. \nFor more details\, visit the event website here. See the workshop announcement and call for participation here (PDF). See the flyer here (PDF).

SUMMARY:Where's It All Heading?
DESCRIPTION:In 2015 long-time Claremont resident Prof. John Cobb organized a 1500-person conference entitled “Seizing an Alternative: Toward an Ecological Civilization.” Those meetings spawned EcoCiv.org\, which supports projects that chart the way toward a genuinely sustainable civilization. \nThe EcoCiv president\, Prof. Philip Clayton\, will summarize initiatives\, nationally and internationally\, that are now bringing to light what an ecological society will look like. From Ecovillages to food justice to national policy changes to the environmental movement in China ― put together\, they reveal the roadmap toward the civilization of the future. \nSustainability Dialogs are free and open to all.\nQuestions are encouraged!\nSponsored by Sustainable Claremont\, EcoCiv\, the League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area\, the Interfaith Sustainability Council\, and Pomona College.

SUMMARY:Higher Education and Institutional Divestment
DESCRIPTION:This convening will bring together institutions that have already reached the decision to divest\, board members of colleges and universities interested in exploring the process\, and other leaders who work in roles that help achieve these goals\, such as endowment networks and facilitating student participation in leading ecological movements. When business executives\, grassroots organizers\, scholars\, and community leaders brainstorm together\, they discover ways to build productive partnerships\, find common cause\, and begin to develop concrete plans that coordinate across the whole range of society. This convening will be an event that forms shared commitments to developing action plans\, searches for positive impacts at the college and university level\, and benefits the participating individuals and their respective organizations. \nThis convening is by invitation only. Reports and material will be made available after the event.

SUMMARY:The 11th International Forum on Ecological Civilization
DESCRIPTION:It is no secret that both China and the world are facing many disturbing problems today. We are heading toward the ecological catastrophes. Finding an alternative to the current form of modernization has become an urgent issue. What is 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 the destruction of the earth? Are there alternatives to modern Western civilization that underlies the modern period? Is a new civilization—an ecological civilization possible? What is “ecological civilization”? What is its philosophical foundation? What are its social\, political\, and economic implications? How can we create an ecological civilization? Which kinds of practical models of ecological civilization are emerging in the world? What kind of role can China in creating an ecological civilization? The 11th International Forum on Ecological Civilization will contribute to fresh reflections on these questions from an organic\, relational\, non-dualistic perspective that is far more congenial to classical Chinese thinking. \nFor more details about the event and how to register\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Process-Relational Thinking Toward Ecological Civilization
DESCRIPTION:Our world is in peril. The practices and worldviews of modern civilization have led us to the brink of civilizational collapse. What hope can there be in the midst of such crisis? For many\, it is the vision of an ecological civilization. This vision has gained prominence in China\, where the search for a post-modern way of sustainable living has brought many in conversation with the Constructive Postmodern Organic Philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead. This course is an intensive introduction to process-relational philosophy and its relevance for ecological civilization; by way of engagement with Pope Francis’ call to “integral ecology” in his encyclical (Laudato Si’) and John Cobb’s call to “ecological civilization” as demonstrated in the multi-author volume For Our Common Home: Process-Relational Responses to Laudato Si’. \nFor more details about this event and how to attend\, please click here.
