More than three million children die every year due to unhealthy environments. This award winning atlas tackles issues as diverse as the devastating and largely unknown impact of indoor air pollution, the unfashionable tragedy of sanitation, and complex emerging issues such as climate change.
Full-colour maps and graphics clearly demonstrate the threats that children face everywhere, and underscore the impact of poverty on children's health. While this crisis cannot be ignored and demands urgent action, success stories, such as the Montreal Protocol, show a way forward for the world to make sure that our children will inherit a safer planet and a brighter future. Topics include: child health and poverty; water; sanitation; malaria; indoor smoke; outdoor air pollution; child labour; road traffic accidents; climate change; school health; phasing lead out of gasoline.
