ABSTRACT
Since the Fourth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health (Budapest, 2004), the children’s health andenvironment programme of the WHO Regional Office for Europe has been collecting case studies on actions toimprove children’s health and environment. The aim of this exercise was to document experiences in implementingmeasures to address the risk factors covered by the Children’s Environment and Health Action Plan for Europe.These descriptions are intended to serve as examples for future implementation of national children’s environmentand health action plans. This collection of case studies describes initiatives, with the intention of encouragingcountries to share their experiences, focusing on the process of implementing each action, including challengesand lessons learned. Thirty-three case studies from the WHO European Region were selected for inclusion. Thisreport describes them and presents the results of their analysis.

"This collection of case studies is meant to enable countries to share their experiences in the planning and implementation of actions to improve children’s health and environment with other member states. Specifically, this project aims to draw attention to actions and implementation experiences carried out at the local and national level as well as highlight the practical elements that made such an action possible and successful. The final aim in collecting the case studies is to provide member states with a collection of relevant examples of actions (with an assessment of the underlying mechanisms and the results achieved) that were prompted by environmental health issues affecting children, to elicit an exchange of experience, inspiration and adaptation to different contexts throughout Europe. Where possible, useful tools and resources that aided the implementation of the given action are documented within the case study. "

Эта серия исследований имеет своей целью дать различным странам возможность поделиться с другими участниками опытом в планировании и реализации мер по улучшению детского здоровья и окружающей среды. В частности, этот проект нацелен на привлечение внимания к опыту разработки и реализации конкретных мер на местном и национальном уровне, и выделяет практические элементы, благодаря которым эти меры были успешно применены. Конечная цель сбора исследований заключается в предоставлении участникам программы собрания значимых образцов конкретных действий (включая оценку внутренних механизмов и достигнутых результатов) по предотвращению негативного влияния окружающей среды на здоровье детей, поощрении обмена опытом, внедрения и адаптации мер в различных национальных контекстах Европы. В некоторых случаях в исследованиях приведены примеры полезных инструментов и средств, которые помогли реализации программных мер.
