Children's environmental health

International organizations collecting information and reporting indicators relevant to children’s environmental health

Based on experience identifying a lead agency to co-ordinate the effort to bring together information on children’s environmental health and integrate input from many different players is essential. Given the inter-sectoral nature of children’s environmental health, many different agencies of different sectors, e.g. health, environment, water and sanitation, agriculture, energy, labour and education, have an important contribution to make.
