Shaping Everyday Life in a Changing World
在氣候變遷、城市轉型與人口結構變動的交織影響下,「綠色生活」已不再只是環境保護或資源節約的單一概念,而是一種關於如何重新組織空間、重塑日常生活,以及重建人與人、人與環境關係的整體實踐。
在本論壇中,「綠色生活」指的是一種在環境永續、健康福祉與社會連結之間取得平衡的生活方式。其核心在於,人們如何在特定的空間條件與社會脈絡中,透過日常行動與集體實踐,形塑出更具韌性與回應性的生活模式。當城市持續轉型,從基礎建設到公共空間的再配置,綠色生活逐漸成為連結都市發展與生活品質的重要媒介。同時,這樣的生活方式也體現在日常之中,從健康促進、社區參與到生活習慣的轉變,逐步累積出具有在地性與持續性的實踐經驗。在不同國家與文化脈絡中,綠色生活展現出多樣的實踐形式。本論壇透過跨文化對話與在地案例分享,探討在全球永續挑戰之下,如何從在地出發,發展具回應性與可持續性的生活想像與實踐路徑。
Amid the intertwined challenges of climate change, urban transformation, and shifting demographic structures, “green living” is no longer limited to environmental protection or resource efficiency. It has become a comprehensive approach to reconfiguring space, reshaping everyday life, and redefining the relationships between people and their environments.
In this forum, “green living” refers to a way of living that balances ecological sustainability, human well-being, and social connectedness. It emphasizes how individuals and communities, within specific spatial and social contexts, reshape their everyday practices and collective actions to create more resilient and responsive ways of living. As cities continue to transform, from infrastructure development to the reconfiguration of public spaces, green living emerges as a critical interface linking urban development with quality of life. At the same time, it is embedded in everyday practices—from health promotion and community engagement to lifestyle changes—gradually forming locally grounded and sustainable modes of living. Across different cultural and geographical contexts, green living takes on diverse forms. Through cross-cultural dialogue and local case studies, this forum explores how, in response to global sustainability challenges, we can develop context-sensitive and sustainable pathways for future living.
