人地关系与环境伦理

Man-land relationship and environmental ethics

全世界面临着人口、资源、环境和发展等一系列问题和严峻挑战。我们要反思人类社会发展的经验与教训,正确认识人地关系,协调处理好人与自然的关系,树立正确的环境伦理观念。这是贯彻实施全面、协调、可持续的科学发展观,建设和谐社会的重要前提。人类是地球自然界的一部分,应当以尊重自然及其内在价值为基础来规范人类的实践活动,构建新时代的文明发展模式。环境伦理与可持续发展观在形成和社会功能上有密切的联系。要实施可持续发展战略,必须十分重视环境伦理的研究、教育和实践。实现人与自然和谐的可持续发展是政府和社会公众的共同责任。环境伦理在区域可持续发展中涉及的应用领域很广,要重视地球系统科学知识的宣传普及,提高公民和决策者的环境意识与可持续发展的伦理观念。

At the beginning of the new century, there are a number of challenges such as population, resources, environment and development etc. that have to be dealt with. The relationship between man and nature is dependence, adaptation, conflict and harmony. The content of the relationship between man and nature changes as the human society changes. The cruel reality requires that man should carefully examine the process of social development, summarize the experience and lessons of traditional development patterns, seek new development patterns that reflect harmony between man and nature, and responsibility to future generations. Therefore it is necessary to build a system of environmental ethics fit for our times. The humans are a part of the natural world on the earth. Only when environmental protection starts from enhancing the overall interest of the earth can there be greater safety and tolerance. Human activities should be regulated by respect of natural laws and intrinsic values of the nature. And this is the basis of building the development pattern of civilization and the harmony society in the new time. We must pay attention to publicity and education to improve the citizen's awareness of environmental ethics. From the point of view of regional sustainable development more attention should be paid to environmental effects in regional resources utilization and exploitation as well as coordination and overall planning in development between various regions.
