Articles cited in Korean environmental philosophy article

Three of my articles are cited in
Nasoo, Kim 2013. Understanding the concepts of co-life and umwelt in an environmental educational perspective [p. 12 Tønnessen 2010c, p. 26, p. 28 Tønnessen 2003 [2009b]]. Environmental Philosophy (The Korean Society For The Study Of Environmental Philosophy) 16: 1–34.
The article, which is in Korean (but with an English abstract), refers to my concepts "bio-ontological monads" and "conceptualized umwelt experience".

Second day of 6th OECD World Forum attended

I have attended the 6th OECD World Forum on statistics, knowledge and policy since all day and will do so until 4 pm, before heading for the centre of Seoul for dinner. Among other things I have heard Jeffrey Sachs´ keynote address, where he had a quite harsh message about the state of current politics internationally, in the US and beyond.

First day at 6th OECD World Forum

Here in Incheon I am attending the first day of the 6th OECD World Forum for Statistics, Knowledge and Policy, at Songdo Convensia. Among other things I have heard the opening statement of OECD Secretary General Angel Gurría, and a press conference that involved Joseph Stiglitz and introduced the new report of the High-Level Expert Group on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress, "For good measure - advancing research on well-being metrics beyond GDP".

Yesterday I flew from Stavanger via Amsterdam towards Incheon, South Korea, and today I have arrived. This is my first visit to East Asia.

I stay at Orakai Songdo Park Hotel, and have this afternoon registered on-site for the 6th OECD World Forum for Statistics, Knowledge and Policy, which starts tomorrow.
