\nLondon-based Editor Addresses Climate Crisis <\/p>\n


\nNARRAGANSETT, RHODE ISLAND \u2013 October 22, 2007 \u2013 As the global impacts of climate change become more apparent, China has become a crucial player in the international discussion about how to address these impacts. A new website, chinadialogue.net, facilitates this cross-cultural dialogue with China. The 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Metcalf Institute for Marine and Environmental Reporting and 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Confucius Institute will host a public lecture by Isabel Hilton, founder and editor of chinadialogue.net.<\/p>\n


\nHilton\u2019s lecture will be held on Monday, October 29, at the Hardge Forum in the 溏心vlog免费B站 Multicultural Center in Kingston, Rhode Island. The brown-bag lunchtime lecture, from 12:30pm to 1:30pm, is open to the public.<\/p>\n


\nAs China overtakes the United States as the world\u2019s largest carbon emitter, a broader engagement between China and the world is essential to ensuring the future of the planet, according to the website. Hilton\u2019s lecture, \u201cchinadiologue.net: Creating an Environmental Dialogue Across the Firewall,\u201d will address the major environmental issues facing China, and the history and development of chinadialogue.<\/p>\n


\nHilton, a London-based writer and broadcaster, has reported extensively from Asia, Latin America, Europe and Africa and has made radio and television documentaries. In addition to her work with chinadialogue, she is currently a columnist for the Guardian and presenter of BBC Radio 3\u2019s flagship cultural program Night Waves. In recognition of her contribution to international understanding, she was recently awarded an honorary doctorate by Bradford University.<\/p>\n


\nLaunched by Hilton in 2006, chinadialogue is the world\u2019s only fully bilingual website in English and Chinese. The website promotes understanding of the environmental impacts of China’s growth by providing a platform for informed articles, commentary and analysis by writers inside and outside China. After nine months, chinadialogue is read in 181 countries and in all regions of China. It is the goal of chinadialogue\u2019s editors to make it a “must visit” site for concerned citizens, policy-makers, experts and activists throughout the world, and anyone interested in China and the global environment. <\/p>\n


\nThe Metcalf Institute for Marine and Environmental Reporting, named for Michael P. Metcalf, late publisher of The Providence Journal, was established in 1997 with funding from the Belo Corporation, The Providence Journal Charitable Foundation, The Philip L. Graham Fund, and the Telaka Foundation. Metcalf Institute\u2019s mission is to improve the clarity and accuracy of environmental reporting through science training opportunities for journalists.<\/p>\n


\nThe Confucius Institute was established at the 溏心vlog免费B站 in 2007 to promote the understanding of Chinese language and culture. The Confucius Institute supports and strengthens the programs of the Chinese International Engineering Program, the visual literacy and new media program of 溏心vlog免费B站 and Zhejiang University in China, and the Chinese librarianship and information professionals program, and fosters other educational and research-driven programs of benefit to both China and the U.S., including 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s International Business Program and classes in Asian Studies and the liberal arts.<\/p>\n
