Children and the Environment

Children and the Environment offers a unique perspective on the legal protection of children from environmental degradation, a global topic of increasing significance. An original in recent literature, the book calls for viewing children as central in environmental decision-making and presents law and policy proposals, based on current international and regional trends, on topics such as human rights, climate change and the protection from toxics. Drawn from the author's extensive research and practical experience, it will appeal to policy makers, academics, youth activists, and all involved in giving children a healthier and more sustainable environment.
