Inheriting the world: The atlas of children's health and the en-
vironment
----------------------------------------------------------------

More than three million children die every year due to unhealthy
environments. This atlas tackles issues as diverse as the devas-
tating and largely unknown impact of indoor air pollution, the
unfashionable yet huge tragedy of sanitation, and complex emerg-
ing issues like climate change.

Full-colour maps and graphics clearly demonstrate the threats
that children face everywhere, and underscore the impact of pov-
erty on children'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 future.
