ABSTRACT
The conclusion reviews trends in urbanization and migration and poses areas for advancing research, education, and children's rights advocacy in transnational and Latin American contexts. Many chapters of this book show ways that children participate in, learn about, and express care for nature across the Americas. Areas for future research include exploring experiences of children with nature in a transnational and immigration context; understanding family and cultural contexts of environmental experiences; and understanding ecological identity and reciprocity. The conclusion also explores ways to support education that acknowledges children and youth as producers of knowledge. The final section of the conclusion identifies areas where children's rights could be better articulated and supported within the context of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. These rights include access to nature and to public space, rights to participate in culture and community and to have these forms of culture recognized in education; rights to safely migrate; rights to climate justice; and rights to participate, meaningfully and safely.
