2017 Commons Workshop focuses on water governance and policy. As one of the typical commons, water is of special significance to China, whether in ancient or modern times. Entering into the new century, the water governance and policy in China is facing new challenges due to rapid economic growth, increasing urbanization, escalating water demands and land use, rampant air, water and soil pollution, and steadily growing demand of an expanding affluent and educated middle class for a better standard of living and quality of life.
2017公共事物治理研讨会聚焦水治理和水政策。作为一个典型公共事物，水治理在古代和当代的中国有着特别重要的意义。进入新世纪以来，中国经历着快速的经济增长，不断加速的城市化进程，对水和土地利用的需求不断升级，空气、水和土壤污染严重，接受良好教育和更加富裕的人们对更好生活的需求日益增长，这些给中国的水治理和水政策带来了新的挑战。
The 2017 Commons Workshop seeks to explore sustainable and innovative water governing approaches and instruments which can be effectively used in countries like China. Challenges in water governance and related policy development are expected to be overcome by understanding how to enhance water governance under changing socioeconomic circumstances, people’s rising aspirations, how governing instruments and associated water policies respond to changes in local and regional contexts, and how to achieve sustainable human and water development in the coming decades. Keynote speeches will be delivered by the leading scholars well-known worldwide in this professional field in the first day of the Workshop.
2017公共事物治理研讨会旨在探索适用于中国及其他发展中国家的可持续、创新的水治理途径和工具。应对水治理和相关政策发展的挑战，需要理解在人们期望不断提高和经济社会不断变迁背景下如何提升水治理，治理工具和相关水政策如何响应当地和区域情境的变化，以及在未来几十年如何实现人水和谐。研讨会将邀请该领域世界知名的专家在会议第一天发表主旨演讲。
