How can we protect the health and safety of workers in a changing climate?

More than 70 per cent of the global workforce are exposed to climate-change-related health hazards with over 2.4 billion workers exposed to excessive heat during their work. This is leading to 18,970 deaths and 22.85 million occupational injuries annually with health impacts including cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory illnesses, kidney disfunction and mental health conditions. The keynote will explore current country responses, national regulations and workplace guidance.
