2005)
1. Objectives
By now, the associates have been exposed to
different perspectives of sustainable development - demography, ecology,
economics, energy, environment science and systems approach. This session will
continue to facilitate the accomplishment of LEAD learning objectives - vision
development, skills building and sustainable development practice with
varieties of exercises going throughout the process. The session will pick “Ecosystem

designed for Associates:

To have a better understanding
of sustainable development in disciplinary perspectives, and to transcend the
conventional disciplinary boundaries using Nujiang river dam construction as a
case;

To build the skills of systems
thinking and cross culture as the integrated approaches to complex sustainable
development issues;

Taking “Ecosystem Approach to
Health” as a theme, to understand the implications of “Ecosystem Approach to
Health”, its meaning to sustainable development and the challenges faced in
China by dialoguing and communicating with the experts in the field;
