生态文明——从应急到兴起

Ecological Civilisation:from Emergency to Emergence

人类面临前所未有的挑战。科学告诉我们,现在要抚平人类对地球造成的潜在不可逆转的损害,只剩下不到十年的时间。而地球是人类生存和福证所依。这是一种非常紧迫的紧急状态。我们的家园在燃烧,我们必须行动起来,而所需的这一应急行动,取决于制度的转变。主要任务是过往帝国残存的失败制度必须让位于创建应急的新制度,以支持人类履行其独特责任和实现自身潜能。人类可行的未来有赖于文化、制度、技术和基础设施的转型,而我们不能等待这一转型,必须在社会和环境崩溃之前采取行动。我们现在就必须竭尽所能行动起来,开启通向新的文明转型性兴起的大门。

Humans confront an unprecedented challenge.Science tells us we now have less than a decade to address potentially irreversible damage to the Earth on which our wellbeing,indeed our existence,depends.This is an Emergency.Our home is burning,and we must act.The required Emergency action depends on failed institutions,most of which are adapted relics of an imperial past that must give way to the Emergence of institutions that support us in fulfilling our distinctive human responsibility and potential.Essential action to forestall social and environmental collapse cannot wait for the transformation of culture,institutions,technology,and infrastructure on which a viable human future depends.We must act now with what we have while initiating the transformational Emergence of the new.
