Margaret Young, National President of Early Childhood Australia, today called on APEC leaders to set binding targets for the reduction of carbon emissions.
Early Childhood Australia, a national, non-government advocacy organisation with its national office in Canberra, has as its mission to be ‘a voice for young children'.
Children, the most vulnerable humans, are at the greatest risk from our unsustainable practices — even more so because they face greater, and longer, exposure to the worst of the consequences. As a world and a nation we need to do things differently.
