Every Child's Future Matters - Sustainable Development Commission

B
Children’s wellbeing and
the environment
What does
the research
say?
A review of the environmental dimension of children and
young people’s wellbeing: Volume I, carried out by The
University of York, pulled together the academic evidence
from researchers in the UK and internationally. In contrast,
Volume II, prepared by nef, examined some of the ‘grey’
literature and local authority practices in this area.
Both reports used the Every Child Matters outcomes as their
guiding framework and are available on the SDC’s website.
This section provides snapshots of the evidence found.
