In English and Spanish

A new map documents the lessons from more than 25 cases of local engagement with projects in the Global South involving Chinese investments. Developed by Sustentarse, Latinoamérica Sustentable, the Global Just Transition project of the Institute for Policy Studies, and the Global Environmental Justice Atlas, the map showcases resistance that succeeded in defending human rights, labor standards, and/or the environment when facing Chinese investments. In the most startling finding, community resistance contributed to the temporary suspension of the contested activities in one out of four of these cases. This finding highlights the relevance of local participation and the negative implications of disregarding local views in project development and management. 

What are the implications of these findings for China, the United States, the governments of Global South countries, and the many communities around the world grappling with the challenges of extraction and economic development? Join several prominent activists and scholars for a panoramic view of this urgent issue.

Presenters

Maia Seeger, Sustentable

Zhao Zhong, Green Camel Bell
Paulina Garzon, Latinoamérica Sustentable
Edwin Alejandro, Red Muqui

Moderated by John Feffer, Global Just Transition
