A safe, healthy and protective environment is key to ensuring all children can grow and develop to their full potential. In 2016, reducing environmental risks could have prevented almost 1.6 million deaths in children under 5 years.
Children are particularly vulnerable to environmental risks, including air pollution, hazardous chemicals, climate change, and inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene.
In 2017, WHO published the second edition of Inheriting a sustainable world: The atlas on children’s health and the environment, which outlines the impact of the environment on children’s health and recommends solutions for preventing diseases and deaths in the future.
