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.

30. Questions…… Can the Chinese people avoid the excesses of the Global North that displaced so much environmental harm onto the developing South?
