Climate change, species loss, pollution, water scarcity and environment damage are challenges that concern all the world’s citizens. Both the scale of its challenges and the size of its economy means China plays a uniquely important role. Tackling these challenges demands a common effort and shared understanding. Dialogue Earth (former China Dialogue) identifies, promotes and supports the unique voices that increase understanding, share precious experiences and inspire a higher awareness of the planet’s challenges, whether they come from inside China or elsewhere.The organisation is devoted to making such voices heard by a global audience, in a lively, convincing and multi-lingual fashion. It is our hope that in doing so, we can move closer to viable, equitable and real solutions to environmental problems.
