Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment - Children's Environmental Health Project
<http://www.cape.ca/children/prev.html>


". . . there is a need to be more aggressive about furthering the agenda for children’s environmental health . . .
The upstream focus that will better safeguard children’s environmental health encompasses action at increasingly broader spheres of influence, from local collective action, to policy and regulatory reform and, finally, to treaties and global action. How and where do physicians insert themselves into that scheme to contribute to the contribute to the protection of children’s health. Borrowing from the mission statement for Environmental Health Watch (EHW), physicians can effectively champion the children’s environmental health agenda (and protection of ecosystem health) by helping:

  • people protect their children and themselves from serious environmental threats,
  • influence corporate, government and individual actions and,
  • avoid both imprudent complacency and unnecessary alarm"
