Children are by far the most committed age group on environmental issues. All over the world, young people are becoming enthusiastically involved in environmental issues, though often these are superficial, distant calls to 'save the earth'.Roger Hart writes with the conviction that all children can play a central and lasting role in sustainable development if their genuine participation is taken seriously and if communities recognize their developing competencies and unique strengths.
This book is suitable for environmental NGOs, policy makers, teachers, youth workers and community leaders. Roger Hart is Director of the Children's Environments Research Group at the City University of New York and Editor of Children's Environments.
