赛事背景
2022 秋季赛事主题
Environmental Justice For All 环境正义
Environmental Justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Fair treatment means that no population bears a disproportionate share of negative environmental consequences resulting from industrial, municipal, and commercial operations or from the execution of federal, state, and local laws; regulations; and policies. Meaningful involvement requires effective access to decision makers for all, and the ability in all communities to make informed decisions and take positive actions to produce environmental justice for themselves.(Department of Energy, USA)This year, we invite young people from all over the world to discuss Environmental Justice, think about how we can change people’s ideas through actions. We hope to convey a message to everyone:Environmental Justice is Human Justice.
环境正义是所有人在环境法律、法规和政策的制定、实施和执行方面的公平待遇和有意义的参与,无论其种族、肤色、国籍或收入如何。公平待遇意味着任何人口都不会因工业、市政和商业运营或联邦、州和地方法律的执行而承担不成比例的负面环境后果;法规;和政策。
有意义的参与需要所有人都能有效地接触到决策者,并且所有社区都有能力做出明智的决定并采取积极行动为自己创造环境正义。(美国能源部)今年,我们邀请世界各地的年轻人一起讨论环境正义,思考如何通过行动改变人们的想法。
我们希望向大家传达一个信息:Environmental Justice is Human Justice.环境正义即是人类正义。We must act now.我们必须立刻行动。
