  5. ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE occurs when vulnerable, disadvantaged, minority or other groups suffer disproportionately at local, regional, or national levels from environmental risks or hazards; when they are denied access to environmental benefits and natural resources; or when they are denied participation or justice in environment-related matters.

  6. DISPLACEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL HARM occurs when strong communities, regions or states shift the costs of extractive activity and pollution disposal to weak ones.

  30. Questions…… • Can the Chinese people avoid the excesses of the Global North that displaced so much environmental harm onto the developing South? • Is China’s model addressing wider issues of injustice and oppression of poor, marginalized, and minority voices? • Where does the international community fit in? Does the world have a responsibility to China and vice versa?
