2. Where did the concept "Environmental Justice" come from? What are some of the causes and effects of environmental injustices? 

3. Who's more responsible for the environemental crisis, corporation or individual?

All candidates must answer one of these questions via writing, speech or artwork.

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.

We must act now.
