‘Children
in the
New
Millennium: Environmental
Impact on Health’
‘Children
in the New Millennium: Environmental Impact on Health’,
which aims to inject new urgency in our efforts to address
the
inter-linkages between environmental
factors and
the survival, protection and development of children, was published
in 2002 by UNEP, UNICEF and WHO. By providing information on specific
environmental health threats facing children in their immediate
surroundings, as well as on the impact of global environmental
problems, it was intended to stimulate discussion, lead to
intensified action, and help to elevate the issue on the
international agenda. Providing an
informed basis
for action and practical recommendations at different levels, the
three United Nations agencies involved hoped to inspire everyone who
cares about children to take decisive action to improve both their
health and that of the environment.
