Is it possible to attribute worsening health outcomes to the changing climate? We think it is. See our new paper (me @granthamlse.bsky.social and @shourodasgupta.bsky.social, CMCC) for more evidence of the health co-benefits of tackling climate change. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Poverty is the leading cause of hunger in Europe. Dr. @shourodasgupta.bsky.social and I @granthamlse.bsky.social show how climate change is increasing food insecurity. More heatwaves & droughts drive up food prices, makes it harder for households to access sufficient healthy & nutritious food

In the latest @LCDEurope 2024 report - Prof @profejzrobinson.bsky.social & I track the impact of increasing frequency of #heatwaves and #droughts on access to sufficient healthy and nutritious food in #Europe. #CMCC @granthamlse.bsky.social #EIEE #IDAlert 🔗https://shorturl.at/inuMU

2.4bln workers exposed annually to excessive heat at work & ~20K work-related deaths Extreme heat impact on workers is a human rights issue, #climatechange will worsen this situation Time for proactive labour protection measures #LabourDay #MayDay #CMCC @granthamlse.bsky.social

World Day for Safety & Health at Work - #Climatechange is already affecting occupational health & safety. #ILO estimates at least 2.41 billion workers exposed annually to excessive heat at work. Time for proactive labour protection measures everywhere #SafeDay2024 #CMCC.

Adapting to the impacts of extreme heat on Bangladesh’s labour force - Grantham Research Institute on climate change and the environmentt.co This policy brief considers how workers in Bangladesh can be protected from extreme heat while the country pursues a just transition to a low-carbon economy.

Thank you, Liz!

@granthamlse.bsky.social has an active and dynamic group of visiting scholars. It has been great to be hosting this week our visiting senior fellow @shourodasgupta.bsky.social from CMCC Venice Italy.

Always great to visit Prof @profejzrobinson.bsky.social @granthamlse.bsky.social. Lots of exciting & hopefully impactful work ongoing #climate #labour #health #foodsecurity #IDAlert #CMCC #PROCLIAS

Brilliant report from #GlobalWitness dlvr.it/T4Lphg My quote: We’re already seeing impacts of heat stress on workers around the world, particularly in outdoor/heavy-duty industries such as agriculture & construction...tailored labour protection policies required. #CMCC @granthamlse.bsky.social

Emissions connected to top oil and gas firms may cause millions of heat deaths by 2100, study findsdlvr.it Global witness analysis suggests 11.5 million deaths could be caused by burning of fuel produced by 2050

Bangladesh's government is already promoting climate-smart agricultural practices, has safety nets in place, but changing climate means more efforts needed to improve food & nutritional security. Our latest @granthamlse.bsky.social policy brief.
