60;70;.More than three million children die every year due to unhealthy
environments. This atlas tackles issues as diverse as the devastating and
largely unknown impact of indoor air pollution, the unfashionable yet huge
tragedy of sanitation, and complex emerging issues like climate change.
Full-colour maps and graphics clearly demonstrate the threats that
children face everywhere, and underscore the impact of poverty on
children57;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 future70;70;.61;
