Ma Jun: Keynote speaker at Mary Robinson Speaker Series, New York, 7 Nov 2011

On 7 November 2011 the second event in the annual Mary Robinson Speaker Series on Business & Human Rights took place in New York City.  The series is hosted by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre.  The event was entitled: "Business, Human Rights and the Environment: the State of Play in China."

The keynote speaker was China's pre-eminent environmentalist Ma Jun, director of the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs in Beijing.  He spoke on "Environmental Challenges and China's Green Choice".  Others speaking at the event included Mary Robinson, Mayling Chan, Frances Beinecke and Andrew Nathan (affiliations below).

Ma Jun is the author of China's Water Crisis, a landmark study on the historical origins of China's present day problems with floods, water scarcity, and water pollution.  In 2006, Time magazine named him one of the world's 100 most influential people.  At the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs, Ma developed the China Water Pollution Map, which tracks government-sourced pollution data and corporate violation records throughout China.  He also plays a leading role in a coalition of Chinese NGOs calling on multinational IT firms to address the fact that some of their suppliers dump toxic heavy metals into China’s water bodies, sometimes causing serious harm to people's health.
