@granthamlse.bsky.social visiting senior fellow @shourodasgupta.bsky.social quoted in IOSH magazine: "one of the problems for policy makers is a lack of high-quality in-depth evidence on the impact of heat stress on workers in many regions of the world ..." Yes! & Shouro is pioneering this research.

Spoke to #IOSH magazine Jan-Feb 2024 issue. We need better spatial coverage of deep-dive heat-labour evidence e.g. #LatinAmerica. Early-warning systems using sector specific temperature thresholds needed to protect vulnerable workers shorturl.at/kqyAR #CMCC @granthamlse.bsky.social
