In April 2024, we hosted a webinar where we explored the science from our latest working paper, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://developingchild.harvard.edu/resources/working-paper/heat-paper/">Extreme Heat Affects Early Childhood Development and Health</a>. The Center’s Chief Science Officer, Dr. Lindsey Burghardt, joined by Dr. Kari Nadeau, Chair of the Department of Environmental Health at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, brought the latest research and insights from the field to discuss the intersection of heat, early childhood development, and health equity. They also discussed actionable solutions to benefit children, caregivers, and communities now and in the future. The webinar discussion has been adapted for this episode of the Brain Architects podcast.

Extreme Heat & Early Childhood Development: A Discussion on Rising Temperatures and Strategies for Supporting Development and Lifelong Health

On The Brain Architects from the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, we explore emerging science in early childhood development and strategies and policy solutions for supporting young children and their caregivers. We examine how the conditions where children live, grow, play, and learn shape their development, lifelong physical and mental health, and well-being. This includes a child’s environment of relationships and influences from their broader environment, such as access to clean air, safe drinking water, the availability of safe, stable housing, and more. Recognizing these influences are not distributed equally or fairly, our expert panelists consider strategies for working towards fairness across places, so all children have developmental environments that support their health and well-being.
