This grant provides partial funding for an international symposium in environmental ethics entitled "Theory Meets Practice." The symposium is sponsored and supported by the University of Georgia, the Fondazione Lanza, the International Scoeity for Environmental Ethics, the International Ecological Society, and the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture. The conference has four subthemes: What are the practical implications of new environmental ethics theories on environmental problems? To what extent should legislation of ecological sustainability restrict property rights? How can nationsl share responsibility for global environmental problems? How can military and political threats to the environment be diminished? Speakers include philosophers, theologians, ecologists, and environmental policy experts from the United States, other industrialized countries, and developing countries. This is the first international environmental ethics meeting to be held in the United States; the event and its proceedings should stimulate increasing attention to these issues by U.S. academicians, policymakers, and interested citizens. This project allows a highly qualified group of researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds in the United States and abroad to address theoretical issues in and practical issues of environmental ethics. The principal investigators and conference participants are well qualified; institutional support is very good. A volume of general interest to the field will result. The budget request is modest. Support is recommended.

这笔赠款为题为“理论与实践相遇”的环境伦理学国际研讨会提供了部分资金。研讨会由佐治亚大学、兰扎基金会、国际环境伦理学分会、国际生态学会和风景园林教育工作者理事会赞助和支持。会议有四个分主题：新的环境伦理理论对环境问题的实践意义是什么？生态可持续性立法应该在多大程度上限制产权？国家如何分担全球环境问题的责任？如何才能减少对环境的军事和政治威胁？演讲者包括来自美国、其他工业化国家和发展中国家的哲学家、神学家、生态学家和环境政策专家。这是第一次在美国举行的国际环境伦理会议；这一活动及其程序应该会促使美国学者、政策制定者和感兴趣的公民越来越多地关注这些问题。该项目允许一组来自美国和国外不同学科背景的高素质研究人员解决环境伦理的理论问题和实践问题。主要调查人员和会议参与者都很有资格；机构支持非常好。这将产生一本引起该领域普遍关注的书。预算要求是适度的。建议您提供支持。
