- Summary:
- Over the past 60 years, the world has seen gradual and hard-won progress in reducing child mortality and improving the lives of opportunities of children. Some of this is attributable to medical science, much of it to simple but public health measures. This title examines the connection between climate action and the future of childrens' health.
