The Changing Landscape of Environmental Public Participation and Protest in China
The Wilson Center China Environment Forum presents a talk with Wu Fengshi and Judith Shapiro on public participation and protest in regards to the environment in China.
When:
March 23, 2016 9:00am to 10:30am
Where
As the ‘war’ on pollution continues in China, the Chinese public and environmental NGOs have been taking advantage of more formal and informal channels to voice their concern about worsening air, water, and soil quality. At this March 23rd CEF meeting, speakers will discuss China’s evolving space for public participation vis-a-vis environmental problems. Wu Fengshi (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore) will speak about the changing nature of public contention in China exemplified by recent large-scale anti-development and environmental protests. Drawing on the second edition of her highly acclaimed book—China’s Environmental Challenges—Judith Shapiro (American University) will highlight other ways that citizens and NGOs are responding to the intense pollution enveloping their country.
*There will be a LIVE webcast of this event.
