Meeting China’s Environmental Crisis: Religion’s Unlikely Role

submitted by Marvin's Underground Evening Lectures on 10/07/18 1

In this Pulitzer Center symposium, journalists and scholars discuss environmental issues in China and the place of religion in responding to the nation's environmental challenges. Recorded October 28, 2014. Religion, the subject of official repression throughout much of China’s Communist era, is now experiencing rapid growth. More surprising still, Chinese government officials are invoking Confucianism, Daoism and other cultural traditions as part of the “ecological civilization” required to meet the country’s huge environmental challenges. Journalists, filmmakers and academic specialists from China and the United States explore these trends in these two panels moderated by Jon Sawyer, Executive Director of the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporitng.
