The document “Mainstreaming Children’s Rights in Environmental Law” outlines specific tools and guidelines in developing policies and programs that are responsive to children’s needs in the context of environmental law.
This document provides a short overview of chemicals issues that children are facing, as well the tools provided by the document “Mainstreaming Children’s Rights in Environmental Law.” Participants who are asked to participate in the roundtable are requested to review the tools and evaluate how they can help improve the agency/non-government organization/group in their work.
The document is designed to, among others:
- Provide tools for decision-makers and government agencies that they can use as reference to ensure that children’s rights are reflected in the environmental laws they formulate;
- Provide non-government organizations and related groups tools that they can use to review and assess existing policies and/or policy recommendations; and
- Provide people in general the necessary tools they need to assess whether policies and programs are responsive to the needs of children in the context of environmental law.
