Puistokatu 4 organised a discussion on the good life within the planetary boundaries in cooperation with the Finnish Embassy in Beijing on 28 February.<\/p>\n

The panel included Jiahua Pan<\/strong> (CASS), one of China’s most renowned climate experts, Nina Ning<\/strong>, President of the Beijing Energy Network, and Sanna Mattila<\/strong>, a China-based expert in socio-emotional education and founder of Pikkuli Edu.<\/p>\n

An audience of around 50 people came to the Embassy to listen to the debate. The audience included journalists, embassy staff, business representatives, sustainability NGOs and researchers.<\/p>\n

The event was organised on the initiative of an alumna of Puistokatu 4<\/h2>\n

The discussion was moderated by Annina Lattu<\/strong>, a doctoral researcher at Peking University and Tampere University, who also initiated the event. Lattu was part of the steering group for Puistokatu 4 2022-2023 and spent last summer as a researcher member of the Puistokatu 4’s Science Attic.<\/p>\n

“I was so inspired by the experience that I suggested we could take the Puistokatu 4’s discussion concept to my new home city of Beijing. The sustainability revolution is a cross-cultural transition and it is important to have a conversations about the ecologically sustainable good life with people from different cultures. Especially the Chinese, who make up the second largest population in the world.”<\/p>\n

Lattu was particularly pleased by the diversity of perspectives represented on the panel: one panelist believed in the omnipotence of the green transition and technology, while another called for a comprehensive reduction in energy use.<\/p>\n

“People from such diverse backgrounds in China don’t necessarily sit at the same table very often,” Lattu concludes.<\/p>\n
