The 21st century has issued a dual challenge: a climate in crisis and an economy in flux. How is Asia responding? This two-day interdisciplinary symposium brings together an international cohort of scholars, students, and artists to examine the environmental and climate challenges through the lens of Global Asia. Highlighting memory and technology, the symposium explores how Asian societies navigate the intersection of environmental crisis, cultural identity, and the digital futures. 

From wild boars of urbanizing China to ecofeminist imaginaries of the sea; from the resources of a memorial piano performance to the high-stakes ethics of the global nuclear-AI alliances, participants will engage in critical reflection and forward-looking dialogue on Asia’s role in shaping planetary futures.
