4D Conversation with Alexander Crawford – The Ecological Civilization Vision

We are so used nowadays to the many gloomy scenarios for the future. But did you know there is actually a powerful societal vision for a brighter future? It comes out of China, and it’s called “shēngtài wénmíng”, or ecological civilization. 

Nobody is better positioned to help us learn about China’s Ecological Civilization Vision than Alexander Crawford. With his long experience in sustainability and foresight, Alexander has studied this vision up close. What some may dismiss as propaganda or hypocrisy, he will help us see through some of the critique and ask whether it might be a potentially good vision - and a real opportunity.

As the world enters a new global order, this conversation invites us into a broader discussion about the role of China as a possible locomotive in the field - especially as the United States under Trump steps back from so many of its commitments.
