UNEP’s New York Office has been involved in various initiatives on children's environmental health, working closely with the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), as well as governmental partners, non-governmental organizations and networks, and academic organizations. In 2002, UNEP, UNICEF and WHO published ‘Children in the New Millennium: Environmental Impact on Health’, which aims to inject new urgency in our efforts to address the interlinkages between environmental factors and the survival, protection and development of children. UNEP is a core member of the WHO-led Healthy Environments for Children Alliance (HECA).
