In our fast-changing urban world, the impacts of social and environmental change on children are often overlooked. Children and their Urban Environment examines these impacts in detail, looking at the key activities, spaces and experiences children have and how these can be managed to ensure that children benefit from change. The authors highlight the importance of planners, architects and housing professionals in creating positive environments for children and involving them in the planning process. They argue that children‘s lives are becoming simultaneously both richer and more deprived, and that, despite apparently increasing wealth, disparities between children are increasing further. Each chapter includes international examples of good practice and policy innovations for redressing the balance in favour of child supportive environments. The book seeks to embrace childhood as a time of freedom, social engagement and environmental adventure and to encourage creation of environments that better meet the needs of children. The authors argue that in doing so, we will build more sustainable neighbourhoods, cities and societies for the future.

'Climate Change For Kids' is an easy book to read for both parents and children who want to learn and discover about climate change, planet earth and how to help save our earth. This book also covers what causes climate change and how simple changes to our lifestyle and daily activities can help slow down climate change and prevent natural disasters from happening globally. This book is designed to help young children and remind adults the benefits of looking after planet earth. The story is a fictional conversation between a duck and a dog as they take a walk together and observe the effects of pollution around them. The story is told beautifully and with great emphasis on change. The planet is in our hands and we have the controls to change. This is not only a responsibility for change agents but everyone. However we all need to find our own balance and do what makes us feel good. And most importantly, not shame other people for not doing the same thing. Being able to shop sustainable and ethically is a luxury. However we believe making small changes where we can will help. It is written as a 'read-aloud' book for parents and caregivers. It is a fun story with life lessons and actionable steps to achieve within ones own environment. Children of all ages will learn the six ways they can help mother earth, as well as reading for comprehension and new sight words. While adults will also be delighted with its simple language. The book is illustrated with references to planet earth and the positive effects of changed habits. and is for children's books. 'I loved reading about climate change! I'm so glad it was easy for me to read to my mom at bedtime. I will do my part to help by making sure I throw plastics in the blue recycling bin so that my plastics do not cause harm to our planet.' Momo, aged 7 years.' This book helped me with my grade 5 Science Project. It was easy to follow along.' Michaelle 10 year old' We are convinced it will help share the message to all age groups and become a children's classic.' Kupcake Gallery, Kid Authors

If you only do a quarter of the actions suggested in this book, you could save more than $2,000 every year and lose weight. We save over $6,000 every year and I lost sixty pounds as an added benefit for working to save the planet and protect our children's futures.• Yes, climate change is real• Know the facts • Understand why it is a problem now• Recognize how this puts our children at risk• Learn simple lifestyle changes you can make• Educate your children about the global warming problems they will face• Prepare to save thousands of dollars, protect and restore your health, and live longer (that's some of the rewards).One reviewer wrote, "The writing style, when the author is laying out facts and details of the situation, is clear and forthright, and I like that she makes no bones about where she stands politically. She doesn't distort the facts, she reports them. When the author is writing with indignation about what we are doing to the planet, it comes across as actually overwhelming. I mean this in a good way. I think readers will sit up straight and think about what they are doing now and what they can do better." The reviewer ended with, "It has a strong message that is timely, and I look forward to buying a copy for everyone I know."

Urban areas are home to over half the world's people and are at the forefront of the climate change issue. The need for a global research effort to establish the current understanding of climate change adaptation and mitigation at the city level is urgent. To meet this goal a coalition of international researchers - the Urban Climate Change Research Network (UCCRN) - was formed at the time of the C40 Large Cities Climate Summit in New York in 2007. This book is the First UCCRN Assessment Report on Climate Change and Cities. The authors are all international experts from a diverse range of cities with varying socio-economic conditions, from both the developing and developed world. It is invaluable for mayors, city officials and policymakers; urban sustainability officers and urban planners; and researchers, professors and advanced students.

This open access book brings together discourse on children and peace from the 15th International Symposium on the Contributions of Psychology to Peace, covering issues pertinent to children and peace and approaches to making their world safer, fairer and more sustainable. The book is divided into nine sections that examine traditional themes (social construction and deconstruction of diversity, intergenerational transitions and memories of war, and multiculturalism), as well as contemporary issues such as Europe’s “migration crisis”, radicalization and violent extremism, and violence in families, schools and communities. Chapters contextualize each issue within specific social ecological frameworks in order to reflect on the multiplicity of influences that affect different outcomes and to discuss how the findings can be applied in different contexts. The volume also provides solutions and hope through its focus on youth empowerment and peacebuilding programs for children and families. This forward-thinking volume offers a multitude of views, approaches, and strategies for research and activism drawn from peace psychology scholars and United Nations researchers and practitioners. This book's multi-layered emphasis on context, structural determinants of peace and conflict, and use of research for action towards social cohesion for children and youth has not been brought together in other peace psychology literature to the same extent. Children and Peace: From Research to Action will be a useful resource for peace psychology academics and students, as well as social and developmental psychology academics and students, peace and development practitioners and activists, policy makers who need to make decisions about the matters covered in the book, child rights advocates and members of multilateral organizations such as the UN.

That children need nature for health and well-being is widely accepted, but what type of nature? Specifically, what type of nature is not only necessary but realistically available in the complex and rapidly changing worlds that children currently live in? This book examines child-nature definitions through two related concepts: the need for connecting to nature and the processes by which opportunities for such contact can be enhanced. It analyses the available nature from a scientific perspective of habitats, species and environments, together with the role of planning, to identify how children in cities can and do connect with nature. This book challenges the notion of a universal child and childhood by recognizing children’s diverse life worlds and experiences which guide them into different and complex ways of interacting with the natural world. Unfortunately not all children have the freedom to access the nature that is present in the cities where they live. This book addresses the challenge of designing biodiverse cities in which nature is readily accessible to children.
