This book challenges and revises existing ways of thinking about leaving care policy, practice and research at regional, national and international levels. Bringing together contributors from fifteen countries, it covers a range of topical policy and practice issues within national, international or comparative contexts. These include youth justice, disability, access to higher education, the role of advocacy groups, ethical challenges and cultural factors. In doing so it demonstrates that, whilst young people are universally a vulnerable group, there are vast differences in their experiences of out-of-home care and transitions from care, and their shorter and longer-term outcomes. Equally, there are significant variations between jurisdictions in terms of the legislative, policy and practice supports and opportunities made available to them. This significant edited collection is essential reading for all those who work with young people from care, including social workers, counsellors, and youth and community practitioners, as well as for students and scholars of child welfare.

It is necessary to promote green growth in times of climate crisis. The realization of human rights, in particular the right to environment, fosters sustainable development. The article aims to justify the need to include the right to environment in United Nations (UN) legal acts and regional human rights protection systems. The methodological approach involved conducting a narrative literature review to investigate the issue. A well-established and effective regional system for the protection of the human right to environment would strengthen the respect for this right at the national level. The complexity of the UN creates an obstacle to the exercise of this right, as concluding agreements among States at different stages of development is very difficult. However, incorporating the human right to environment into UN legal acts could give momentum to including this right in national legislation. Building a comprehensive and coherent legislative framework for the protection of the human right to environment at global, regional and national levels should contribute to the improvement of the ecosystem and human health, which is key to sustainable development.
