Physical inactivity and poor diet are driving obesity in the population and pose a major threat to future health globally. This theme focuses on improving the school environment to promote positive health behaviours. Whole-systems school-based interventions such as active transport, active miles and healthy school zones are equitable and thought to have sustained impact on embedding a culture of health that impacts on physical social and emotional health and wellbeing.
