Rising right-wing in Europe and Water
conflicts
- Water conflict
- Trans boundary water conflict over the Mekong river
- China
- China owns over half the river's upper basin,
which is one of the poorest areas of China.
This makes this area convinient for a
hydroelectric power station. Damning this
river would prevent countries with access to
the lower areas of the river from using it, as it
will dry up
- Myanmar
- Myanmar owns many tributaries
coming off of the mekong river , but
none of those below where the plans
for china's dam woulds effect
- Laos
- One of the world's poorest countries and relies on
the Mekong river for 90 percent of their water for
agriculture
- creating the dam would prevent
access to this water, decreasing their
economy dramatically, and could
potentially cause hunger problems
- Laos also uses the dam for
hydroelectric power to produce
cheap, renewable energy. Without
access to the river, Laos would have
less energy
- Thailand
- The Mekong
river covers 36
percent of
Thailand
- Vietnam
- the river gives vietnam extremely fertile
land which is 50,000km squared. Without
access to the river, this land wouldn't be
fertile and agriculture would no longer be
a source of income for vietnam
- agriculture produces income
for 40 percent of Vietnam's
population
- Cambodia
- Most of Cambodia is covered by the
Mekong river, and relies on
flooding of the river to grow rice
efficiently
- using the river for hydroelectric
power would prevent detrimental
deforestation in Cambodia
- this could boost Cambodia's
economy dramatically
- this would prevent Vietnam's
access to Mekong's resources
- Rising right wing
- Extremist parties in
Europe are on the rise
- causes of tension
- Brexit
- right wing exremist groups
respond to international
extremist groups by blaming
migration and migrants for
these acts of violence when
they are
- impacts
- Right wing extremist groups form
- more people support these views as
they think it favours them and their
country, when in fact many industries
and areas rely on migrant workers
and migration to function properly
- solutions
