“…According to the manager of this home, he has initiated organic farming with the principal intention of maintaining the good health and longevity of the children. It is interesting to note that the central focus on organic farming has become the hub of many capacity building initiatives that are linked with central capabilities including; safety, education, standard of living, productive valued activities, quality social interactions, recreation and play (Ariyadasa and McIntyre‐Mills, ; Canoy et al, ; Nussbaum, ).…”

Educating children and young people on how to care for the environment is the focus of this paper. Today's children will encounter the adverse effects of global population growth and subsequent pollution by adults at the expense of the environment. Thus, it is important to draw children's attention to carbon footprints and climatic changes. Through participation, they will have opportunities to learn more about the implications of the way we choose to live our lives in the short, medium, and long terms. Children learn about their rights and responsibilities by being given the opportunity to express their ideas and to translate policy into practice through small‐scale interventions that make a difference to this generation and succeeding ones. Such interventions can include lessons on recycling, use, and reuse of resources, composting, organic and ethical farming, water and energy conservation techniques, and much more. The essence of this paper has been extracted from my Participatory Action Research (PAR) on the life chances of young children in voluntary children's homes in Sri Lanka. This PAR largely employs qualitative investigations to manipulate the information collected during the study in order to assess and evaluate the findings. During the PAR, it was identified that some children's homes have initiated a few enhanced ecosystem governance practices that redress problems associated with the worst aspects of industrialization. These practices promote the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature and have adopted the concerns of critical systemic thinking with consequent improvement of human well‐being and ecosystem health. The potential of these homes to provide education for these vulnerable children by improving their ability to deliver stewardship responsibilities towards the environment should never be underestimated.

“…She asserts "The liberty of religious belief, membership, and activity is among the central human capabilities, because the religious capabilities have multiple aspects" (Nussbaum, 2000a, p. 179). She has included them among the capabilities of the senses, imagination, and thought, and also in the category of affiliation (Canoy et al 2010;Nussbaum, 2011). This strategy reflects her view that religion is an extremely important way of pursuing these general capability goals, but not the only one worthy of consideration.…”

“…This is the approach recently used by Canoy and co-authors in an ex ante impact assessment of the EU proposal on organ donation. 60 Thirdly, there is the need to determine the causal relationships between the policy being studied and relevant dimensions of well-being. Ideally this would involve randomised controlled studies, but these are hardly feasible in the context of large policies such as those for shipping and ports because of cost and time requirements.…”

The linkages between shipping and port policies, and human and social development are explored in this paper, in view of discussing possible ways how those policies can contribute to human well-being. A framework based on the capability approach is used to conceptually interrogate the contents of policies in terms of elements of human and social development. Integrated ocean policies are considered, in this context, as useful frameworks for aligning maritime policies with broader development goals, as well as with the concerns and priorities of other sectors. Finally, some practical issues regarding the operationalisation of policy impact studies based on multidimensional human development are discussed, highlighting possible areas for future research.
