2004 Forum Report: Financing Technologies for the Environment
Open Space Sessions: Integrating Environmental Technology with Environmental Justice in the Developing World
Facilitated by Susan Lubeck, Community at Work
Questions and observations:
- What is the right language to use about environmental justice when talking with people who are market oriented?
- What is the role of grassroots organizations & activists in creating awareness about environmental issues and solutions? Markets for environmental technology solutions?
- How do we prevent environmental technologies from perpetuating environmental injustice? In the global north, there's agitation & money to insist on use of best e-practices, but it's too common for bad practices to be shifted to places without agitation & money.
- Can people who are currently financing the development of environmental technology play a larger role in supporting the environmental justice implications of their work?
