On May 5-6, 1997, Administrator Carol M. Browner hosted the Environment Leaders' Summit of the G7 countries plus Russia, known as "the Eight," in Miami, Florida. Children's Environmental Health was the centerpiece topic for discussion at the Summit, which resulted in the 1997 Declaration of the Environment Leaders of the Eight on Children's Environmental Health and its annexed Implementation Actions on Protecting Children's Health and Environment Which the Environment Leaders of the Eight Have Agreed to Promote Within Their Governments and Countries. These documents provide a framework for domestic, bilateral and international efforts to improve the protection of children's health from environmental threats and specify concrete actions that the Eight will undertake to begin the process of incorporating characteristics of infants and children into environmental science, risk assessments and protection regimes.
