Background The adverse effects of heat on workers' health and work productivity are well
documented. However, the resultant economic consequences and productivity loss are less …

Heat stress caused by climate change and heat-related labor productivity losses have
become global concerns. Estimating the economic impacts of heat stress is of great …

Extreme heat undermines the working capacity of individuals, resulting in lower productivity,
and thus economic output. Here we analyse the present and future economic damages due …

Our current 1.1° C warmer world is already affecting natural and human systems in Europe
(very high confidence1). Since AR5, there has been a substantial increase in detected or …

The risk of heatwave events and their persistence has intensified in recent past and is
expected to increase faster in future. However, the anticipated changes in socioeconomic …

Background Although effects on labour is one of the most tangible and attributable climate
impact, our quantification of these effects is insufficient and based on weak methodologies …

Global warming is leading to increased heat stress in many regions around the world. An
extensive number of heat stress indicators (HSIs) has been developed to measure the …

We assess economic costs of heat-induced reductions in worker productivity at global scale
under RCP2. 6 and RCP8. 5. Losses in worker productivity are calculated by using an …

Background Scarcity of data on the health impacts and associated economic costs of heat
waves may limit the will to invest in adaptation measures. We assessed the economic impact …

The Earth system and the human system are intrinsically linked. Anthropogenic greenhouse
gas emissions have led to the climate crisis, which is causing unprecedented extreme …
