Healthy and sustainable environments for children and communities
Abstract
Research on child health and development has shown that the environments young children experience as they are growing shape their health and wellbeing. This means not only the social or human environments, especially the family, but also the physical, geographical, built and natural environments. These environments begin to have an impact on the developing child, arguably, from the moment of conception, through infancy, childhood and adolescence.Research on child health and development has shown that the environments young children experience as they are growing shape their health and wellbeing.
