Perma/Culture: Imagining Alternatives in an Age of Crisis
Praise-Hk: A personalized real-time air quality informatics system for citizen participation in exposure and health risk management
Impact of air pollution on educational attainment for respiratory health treated students: A cross sectional data linkage study
Our study showed that short-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution, specifically NO 2, was associated with detrimental educational attainment for students aged 15-16. Longitudinal investigations in different settings are required to confirm this possible impact and further work may uncover the long-term economic implications, and degree to which impacts are cumulative and permanent
Urban Image Work: Official and Grassroots Responses to Crisis in Tijuana
The images people hold about any city affect its ability to attract tourists, shoppers, and investment. This study of urban image in Tijuana examines institutional place promotion efforts in two vital sectors: industry and tourism. It also explores a diverse set of efforts to shape city image from the bottom-up, through blogs, grassroots organizations, and entrepreneurialism. This analysis of differently positioned actors working to shape percept…
Indigenous Struggles, Environmental Justice, and Community Capabilities
Environmental justice is often defined in terms of the distribution (or maldistribution) of environmental goods and bads. Activists and scholars have also focused on issues of cultural recognition and political participation. This article posits a capabilities-based conception of environmental justice. We argue that environmental challenges raised by indigenous communities demonstrate a broad, complex conception of environmental justice focused o…
Mapuche Protest, Environmental Conflict and Social Movement Linkage in Chile
This article chronicles the promise and limitations of social movement networks as mechanisms of political voice in Mapuche Chile. Although protest has largely fallen from favour in post-authoritarian Chile, environmental conflicts have shaken the southern territories of the Mapuche Indians since redemocratisation. State promises of indigenous recognition and state access have clashed headlong with ambitious regional development priorities in hyd…
Environmental Justice in Latin America: Problems, Promise, and Practice
Scholars and activists investigate the emergence of a distinctively Latin American environmental justice movement, offering analysis and case studies that illustrate the connections between popular environmental mobilization and social justice in the region. Environmental justice concerns form an important part of popular environmental movements in many countries. Activists, scholars, and policymakers in the developing world, for example, increas…
Testing Democracy’s Promise: Indigenous Mobilization and the Chilean State
In the early 1990s, Chile’s restored democratic government created a new legal architecture and a new institution, the CONADI (National Corporation for Indigenous Development), in order to improve the historically distant relationship between the state and indigenous groups. To the Mapuche Indians, newly institutionalized principles of constitutional rights, self-determination, and participatory co-governance promised not just more meaningful cit…
The Globalization of Environmental Justice: Lessons from the U.S.-Mexico Border
This article is part of an emerging effort to explore environmental justice as it appears in Latin America, both as a symbol of popular mobilization and as a set of principles for scholarly analysis and interpretation. The study begins on the U.S.-Mexico border, with one community's struggle against industrial hazardous waste. It then considers larger regional efforts to develop cross-border environmental justice collaboration, and a national cam…
Environmental justice and the politics of energy on the US–Mexico border
This paper is part of an emerging effort to explore environmental justice in the forms in which it is appearing in Latin America, both as a discourse of popular mobilisation and as a set of principles for analysis and interpretation. It explores the promise and limits of environmental justice on the US–Mexico border, drawing its lessons from a study of trans-border energy politics. In the wake of the California energy regulatory crisis, energy co…
Comparison between the Chinese EIA Guidelines for Air Dispersion Modelling and the Advanced Air Dispersion Model ADMS
Using ADMS models for Air Quality Assessment and Management in China
Uncertainty in dispersion modelling and urban air quality mapping
The Politics and Ecology of Indigenous Folk Art in Mexico
This paper explores the ecological promise and peril of Mexico's rich and diverse indigenous arts and crafts. In the quest for authentic sustainable development, the increased commercialization of folk art presents both opportunities and risks. Many indigenous art forms demonstrate characteristics associated with triumphs in agroecology, social forestry, and other rural initiatives--community revitalization, resource stewardship, traditional ecol…
Environmental politics in Chile: Legacies of dictatorship and democracy
Standing at the forefront of Latin America's political and economic liberalisation, Chile is held up as a model for the developing world. First in the region to embrace a boldly neoliberal development strategy, Chile's military dictatorship also peacefully gave way to stable, civilian rule and comparative economic success. However, the lens of environmental politics reveals a disturbing underside to the Chilean miracle. Environmental policy, inst…
Agroecology in Mexico: Linking environmental and indigenous struggles
There are few places where the hegemony of industrial agriculture is more complete than in contemporary Mexico. The forces arrayed against sustainable agriculture in such a context are formidable; yet this study chronicles an encouraging agroecology movement in indigenous regions of rural Mexico. Mexico's sustainable agriculture movement is emerging at a surprising nexus, in new linkages between indigenous resistance and modern environmentalism. …

Sustainable Development in Mexico: The International Politics of Crisis or Opportunity
Mexico holds the potential for a disastrous confrontation or a constructive breakthrough regarding sustainable development. The world's wealthy countries have been largely able to insulate themselves from the costs of the social and ecological deterioration that characterizes the world's poor countries. The Mexico-United States case is a critical one because the 2,000-mile border makes cost-sharing inescapable. Given its revolutionary nationalist…
