Aesthetics Of Life’S Continuity: Local Experiences And Chinese Wisdom In Sustainable Development Of Maolan Biosphere Reserve, Ying Zhang, Jingcheng Ran, Dengli Yu
Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)
UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB) emphasizes that biosphere reserves should serve as “learning sites for sustainable development”. Ecological conservation should not be separated from human life, but instead be integrated with community development, cultural continuity, and educational advancement. Guided by this principle, the Maolan Biosphere Reserve in Guizhou has grounded its efforts in the traditional ecological culture of its multi-ethnic local communities. It transforms ecological ethics and aesthetic experiences into shared ecological values and innovative governance mechanisms, thereby forging a path of ecological civilization that integrates nature conservation, cultural identity, and livelihood improvement.

How China Leads Global Governance Of Artificial Intelligence: A Sustainable Development Approach Beyond Technological Competition, Xuanming Pan, Zhenzhen Chen, Shaoshan Liu
Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)
In the context of great power competition and escalating geopolitical conflicts, the academic community generally holds a pessimistic view of AI international cooperation, believing that the space is shrinking. This perception mainly stems from conflicts in the cross-border supervision of AI data and algorithms among technologically advanced countries, while overlooking the strong willingness and potential for cooperation in energy conservation and emission reduction through AI technologies shown by Global South countries. Looking into the future of global governance, China, starting from leading the transformation of AI technologies, shall take lead in supporting these countries to transform the sustainable development consensus …

Natural brain processes make all individuals susceptible to unconscious bias; however, stressful, fearful, or anger-evoking situations as well as the negative influence of media and social surroundings increase the risk of holding obstructive bias, and there is a greater risk of being negatively impacted by this phenomenon when belonging to a minority population (Rose & Flores, 2020). As a result, high rates of infant mortality (10.2 deaths per 1,000 live births for the Non-Hispanic Black population compared to 4.1 in the White population) and cardiovascular related diseases (190.0 cases per 1,000 in the Non-Hispanic Black population compared to 161.3 in …
