Our conscious duty towards environment
The present article is about the potential impact of the environment on the health of children and youth in the 21st century and where the paediatrician might fit in. You might expect the words ‘child’ and ‘paediatrician’ to show up again fairly soon, but such will not be the case. There is a reason. An expectation of recent generations has been one of gradual improvement; thus, our standard of living is better than our parents and theirs of their parents. However, this expectation is about to change. Every child, everywhere, all three billion of them over the next 50 years, will have to confront unprecedented and generally adverse change within their societies during their lifetime. Just as our economy is undergoing incredible change, so is the environment. Just as today’s economic changes are distressing to most, so will be tomorrow’s environmental changes. Just as we precipitated these economic changes because of our arrogance, greed and hubris, so have we caused many of the environmental changes. Just as we must adapt to tighter times, so must we adapt to living within stringent environmental limits. By exploring how man’s perception and treatment of his environment has altered it so much that its ability to sustain humanity is threatened, and how that may affect our descendents, the present paper will help you understand this change and will prompt you to act, each in your own way, to prepare yourselves, your families and the doctors of the future, for what is to come. We must do this so our descendents will be able to enjoy flourishing human cultures.
