Frequent and intense heat episodes can strain workers’ cognitive and physical abilities, drive up absenteeism, and disrupt vital infrastructure. Drawing on data from over 2.7 million firms across 23 advanced economies, this column explores the impact of heatwaves on firm labour productivity. More frequent high-temperature days and heatwaves substantially reduce labour productivity. The impact is particularly severe for smaller and less productive firms. Some adaptation may have already taken place, underlining the importance of adaptation investments to safeguard productivity in the face of a warming climate.
