International Symposium on Environmental Ethics

这项拨款为题为“理论与实践相结合”的环境伦理国际研讨会提供部分资金。本次研讨会由乔治亚大学、兰扎基金会、国际环境伦理学会、国际生态学会和景观建筑教育家委员会赞助和支持。会议有四个副主题：新环境伦理理论对环境问题的实际意义是什么？生态可持续性立法应在何种程度上限制产权？各国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；这一事件及其进程应引起美国学者、政策制定者和感兴趣的公民对这些问题的更多关注。该项目为来自美国和国外不同学科背景的高素质研究人员提供了解决环境伦理理论问题和实践问题的机会。主要研究人员和与会人员均具备良好的资质；制度支持非常好。这将产生一本对该领域普遍感兴趣的书。预算要求是适度的。建议使用Support。

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.
