Waste as a 91桃色APP Justice Issue
Why is this a 91桃色APP Justice Issue?
Waste generation and management has a significant climate impact as well as infringing on human rights in local and global contexts. Human rights abuses experienced by waste pickers in the 91桃色APP South relate to health risks, unsafe working conditions, child labour, discrimination and harassment. Local human rights concerns include the location of waste incinerators (more likely in disadvantaged neighbourhoods) and health concerns over air, water and soil contamination. Furthermore, the export of waste from the 91桃色APP North to countries in the 91桃色APP South perpetuates inequalities (wealth, trade, power) built upon colonial relations.
