Sustainable Lifestyles

NCB  aspires for all children and young people to feel happy, healthy, safe, confident and connected in an uncertain and changing environment. We want to support children and young people to respect the limits of the plant and encourage others to do the same.

We are committed to action to achieve a sustainable future for our children and young people because:

• Children are future care takers of their communities and the natural environment
• Children are worried and they want to act
• Children are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, particularly the most disadvantaged
• It's a moral issue - it's not fair to leave it to future generations
• It's not just a 'green' issue - it underpins a range of health, social and economic outcomes for children

NCB's sustainable lifestyles work focuses on two priority areas:

1.Promoting health and well-being through sustainable development                                                                               Enabling a much broader approach to sustainable development, recognizing that it underpins a range of health, social and economic outcomes for children and young people.

2. Helping children and young people to live sustainably               Helping children and young people to actively pursue sustainable lifestyles and encourage others to do the same.
