| dc.description | This publication aims to reach out to young people in Asia and the Pacific – tertiary students, young adults and
early career professionals. It is intended to enhance their knowledge of three primary subjects – the natural
environment, human health and the built environment – to promote a better understanding of the region’s emerging environmental issues, their causes and effects.
Chapter 1 elaborates the context of the Asia-Pacific region and the crucial role of youth in addressing
regional environmental challenges.
• Chapter 2 presents the benefits derived from nature and demonstrates the critical role of healthy
ecosystems in contributing to human survival and well-being.
• Chapter 3 explores emerging issues of air and water pollution, food security and the effects of
mismanaged waste on human well-being. This chapter advocates a balance between environmental
wellbeing and economic development.
• Chapter 4 addresses the natural and built environments, outlining options for a resilient and
sustainable future.
• Chapter 5 concludes the report by highlighting youth action for a better future, including a specific
survey conducted for this report of youth, for youth and by youth. | en_US |
