课程简介：工业生态学是研究工业发展与资源环境之间相互作用的一门新兴学科，旨在从系统观、动态观、效率观，揭示产业系统与自然生态系统之间物质流、能量流及相应的环境足迹的过程、格局和效应，探讨产业系统演进过程中技术、经济、社会与生态要素的互馈关系及机制，探索产业生态化转型和可持续发展的关键问题、路径及方案。发展循环经济已形成全球共识，是增强全球竞争力，促进可持续经济增长的重要行动，在中国已被确定为一项重大战略决策。工业生态学是支撑可持续发展和循环经济的重要学科。课程讲授内容包括工业生态学的核心概念、基本方法和多样化实践案例，重点对清洁生产、生命周期评价、物质流分析、脱钩发展、可持续水管理、温室气体减排、产业结构优化等主题进行讲授，将工业生态学的方法和思想融入到相应的主题。授课内容突出工业生态学和循环经济领域的重要实践载体——产业共生和工业园区，进行深入研讨；通过大量的国内外实践案例的分析讲解，以期让学生全面深入地理解工业生态学、清洁生产、生命周期评价、绿色低碳循环发展等的内涵，掌握基本方法，帮助学生拓展新知识、新视野，并在课程的专题研讨环节有充分体现。
Industrial Ecology is an emerging discipline that studies the interaction between industrial development and resources and the environment. It aims to reveal the process, pattern, and effect of material flow, energy flow, and corresponding environmental footprint between an industrial system and a natural ecosystem. Through the process and pattern, it explores the relationship of technological, economic, social, and ecological elements in the evolution of the industrial system and it can also study the key issues and solutions for the ecological transformation and sustainable development. Globally, the development of a circular economy has been well promoted worldwide and has been defined as a necessary action to enhance a country’s global competitiveness and promote sustainable economic growth. China has identified the circular economy as a significant strategic decision as well. Industrial Ecology is an introductory course to study sustainable development and circular economy. This course covers concepts, methods, and diversified practice cases of industrial ecology. Students will expect to see critical methods and ideas of industrial ecology, such as cleaner production, life cycle assessment, material flow analysis, decoupling development, sustainable water management, greenhouse gas emission reduction, and industrial structure optimization. Industrial symbiosis and eco-industrial parks are the most critical two practical cases of industrial ecology and circular economy that students expect to see in this course. By analyzing and understanding national and international practical cases, students will comprehensively understand the fundamental concepts of industrial ecology, such as cleaner production, life cycle assessment, and low-carbon circular development. This course will also offer seminars to help students understand the key concepts and methods mentioned above from different perspectives so that students can apply the knowledge to actual cases happening in the world after completing this course.
