Citizens Participate in the Monitoring of Marine Plastics Pollution - Two models in China
Ying Wang
(Insititue for Global Prosperity)
Contribution:
During my fieldwork in China, I observed two models that have been used by the environmental activists to collect plastics pollution data. I am going to compare the two models and explore the variations and similarities.
Why would you like to speak in this workshop?:
1. Nationwide network
Who initiate the project: a NGO locates at Shanghai (one of the tier-1 cities in China).
Participatory type: contributory
Amis:
1) Increase awareness
2) Impact the policy making
3) Define the responsibility of producers
4) Create a database
Challenges:
1) Data ownership.
2) Projects may do not benefit local communities in some regions.
2. Community-based monitoring
Who initiate the project:
The community leader saw the pollution problem. He created a long-term cooperation relationship with a local NGO. They initiated a series of projects in the community, which included the monitoring project. The community was not interested in the data. They did this as a favor to their partner.
Participatory type: contributory
Aims:
1) Support the living of poor households in the community
2) Investigate the situation in the community
3) Impact policy making
4) Solve the problems in the community
Challenges:
1) Sustainability of the projects
2) Motivate the community residents to participate
3. Summary
1) The contribution of professional research institution is not obvious.
2) If the participants are not from local communities, would it undermine the value of the project to local communities?
