- Abstract:
- The Chinese path to modernization is characterized by the coexistence of man and nature in harmony, and it encompasses significant ecological implications. Although considerable progress has been made in ecological civilization during the process of Chinese modernization, China still faces various challenges, including the growing constraints on natural resources and environment, the pressing need for ecological justice, and the enhancement of ecological literacy. Education is pivotal to promoting ecological civilization, and it assumes the critical role of guiding individuals in developing a view on nature which is characterized by the unity between human beings and the universe to establish a life community; of cultivating systematic and holistic thinking to create a responsible community; of fostering ecological emotions and aesthetics to build a home community; and of instilling correct values of justice and harmony to promote ecological justice. Therefore, education should focus on cultivating citizens who are willing to shoulder ecological responsibilities by improving the content system of ecological civilization education; conveying ecological values such as harmony, equity, and justice; implementing embodied and in-depth ecological participation methods; adopting a whole-institution approach; and establishing an ecological civilization education mechanism based on extensive consultation, joint governance, and shared benefits. To fulfill the educational mission of promoting Chinese ecological modernization, educators should play an active part.
