内容説明

Each year, millions of children die of environmental causes and many more suffer serious illness or injury. Children are often the most vulnerable to the condition of their environment - their health is an index of its quality - but their wellbeing is rarely given priority by governments or aid agencies. Yet often the problems can be traced back to problems which can be treated straightforwardly and at relatively low cost - poor drinking water or food, or infectious diseases which can be controlled. This book describes the range of impacts on children of the environment. It also explains what can be done, by communities as well as governments and aid workers, to provide safe and healthy environments for them. Conditions in a range of cities in the South are discussed, as well as the problems of pollutants which affect children in the North.

目次

  • The environment and children
  • links between environment and health
  • the vulnerability of children to the environment
  • children and renewable resources
  • sustaining environment and development
  • primary environmental care
  • children as the bridge to sustainable development.

内容説明

Each year, millions of children die of environmental causes and many more suffer serious illness or injury. Children are often the most vulnerable to the condition of their environment -and their health is an index of its quality - but their wellbeing is rarely given priority by governments or aid agencies. Ironically, the problems can be traced back to matters which can be treated straightforwardly and at relatively low cost - poor drinking water or food, or infectious diseases which can be controlled. This book gives a multidisciplinary account of the environmental health hazards threatening children and the range of impacts they can have. It also explains what can be done, by communities as well as governments and aid workers, to provide safe and healthy environments for children. The book looks at conditions in a range of cities in the developing world, as well as pollutants and other health problems affecting children in the North. Published in association with UNICEF, and written by some of the same authors as Environmental Problems in Third World Cities (Earthscan, 1993), this provides excellent course material, and will be useful for practitioners working on child development, infant and maternal health, environmental health and community development. David Satterthwaite is Director of the Human Settlements Programme at the International Institute for Environment and Development, and principal author of Environmental Problems in Third World Cities (1993) and Squatter Citizen(1989).
