Nature-based Solutions for Youth Physical Activity in Our Warming World
July 16, 2025 2pm
Webinar with Kevin Lanza, PhD, Assistant Professor, UTHealth Houston School of Public Health in Austin, TX
Climate change is considered the greatest health threat of the 21st century, and children are particularly susceptible to its impacts. Join Dr. Kevin Lanza, the Director of the Health Equity Action Together (HEAT) Lab, as he shares research findings on the relation between extreme heat on physical activity levels of children, and the different strategies that can lower temperatures and promote safe physical activity. Research covered in this webinar is based in economically disadvantaged, Latino communities in Central Texas with a focus on households, bus transit systems, school routes, and schoolyards. Specific learning outcomes include understanding 1) the relationship between extreme heat, health, and social equity; 2) the association between extreme heat and physical activity levels of children; and 3) the influence of trees and other urban heat management strategies on physical activity levels of children.
