Available Open Access under CC-BY licence. How do environmental
policies link to dynamic and relational family practices for
children and parents? This Policy Press Short presents innovative
cross-national research into how 'environment' is understood and
negotiated within families, and how this plays out in everyday
lives. Based on an ESRC study that involved creative, qualitative
work with families in India and the UK who live in different
contexts, this book illuminates how environmental practices are
negotiated within families, and how they relate to values,
identities and society. In doing so, it contributes to
understanding of the ways in which families and childhood are
constructed as sites for intervention in climate change debates. In
an area that is increasingly of concern to governments, NGOs and
the general public, this timely research is crucial for developing
effective responses to climate change.

which will be his salvation or ruin.
