为推动地理学综合集成研究,服务后疫情时代区域与全球可持续发展,“2022京师国际暑期学堂”特推出地理学与可持续性课程,由国内国际学者共同授课,主要讲授地理学与可持续性的最新研究进展和区域案例。欢迎全球地理学及相关学科领域的学生参会!

地理学与可持续性课程主要介绍地理学与可持续性学科的基本理论、研究方法和区域实践,重点围绕土地利用变化与土地退化生态系统格局-过程-服务人地系统耦合可持续发展四个方面的国际前沿研究进展,引导学生认识地理学对可持续发展的重要支撑作用及其在此过程中的发展与创新,为区域、国家和全球可持续发展提供学科支持。

In order to promote the integrated research of geography and serve the regional and global sustainable development, Beijing Normal University will provide a summer course on geography and sustainability. The course will bring together researchers around the world and present the latest research progress on geography and sustainability and the geographical case studies on transforming our world for sustainable development. We warmly welcome students in geography and related fields worldwide to join us!

The speakers will mainly introduce the basic theory, research methods and regional practice of geography and sustainability, focusing on four main aspects of the international frontier researches (Land Use Change and Land Degradation, Ecosystem Pattern-Process-Service, Coupled Human-Earth System and Sustainable Development). The speakers will guide students to learn about the importance of geography for sustainable development and the development and innovation of geography, and provide supports for regional, national and global sustainable development.

5. 背景/Background

2015年,联合国通过了《改变我们的世界:2030年可持续发展议程》,提出了17项可持续发展目标(Sustainable development goals,SDGs),涵盖社会、经济、环境三个方面,为2016—2030年全球可持续发展明确了新的方向。然而,2021年联合国可持续发展目标报告显示,人类在推动实现可持续发展目标的道路上已经偏离了既定轨道,甚至出现倒退的风险。新冠肺炎(COVID-19)疫情的爆发并迅速蔓延,则进一步带来了全球性大危机,严重阻碍了SDGs的实现进程。应对并缓解气候变化、生态系统退化、新冠肺炎疫情等全球性危机,并在未来十年内加速实现SDGs,已经成为目前全球面临的重大挑战和后疫情时代复苏的优先事项。

地理学作为自然科学与人文科学的交叉综合学科,重在开展地表格局、过程与人地系统的分析模拟预测,其核心是探究人地关系,最终目标是推动实现区域与全球的可持续发展。地理学在服务可持续发展方面具有天然学科优势,不仅能够为推进全球可持续发展提供重要科学基础,也能够在这一过程中实现地理学科新的发展与创新。

The world is changing at an accelerating pace because of the increased human pressure on the earth’s resources and the consequent climate crises. The 2021 UN report on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) noted that the world had deviated its track to achieve the 17 SDGs in 2030, and the COVID-19 pandemic further magnified the challenge. The significant challenges of sustainable development highlight an urgent need to understand the mechanisms linking the human and nature systems systematically.

Geography is a transdisciplinary discipline studying the coupled human and nature systems and their interactions. The integrative characteristics of geography and its sub-disciplines cover both human and nature dimensions and provide important theories, methodologies, models, data that can better fit sustainability science’s research needs and address real-world sustainability issues.
