In this rapid assessment, @profejzrobinson.bsky.social & compute that one week of June's heatwave cost more than £1 billion in lost output and 24 million lost working hours. This figure does not include the costs of negative health symptoms reported by 87% of the workers we surveyed.

Small island developing states are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Lots written on existential threats from sea level rise. In the 2025 @lancetcountdown.bsky.social #SIDS report, we highlight the food security challenge: inc. high import dependency & increasingly disrupted supply chains

1/n During 2020–2023, labour supply (number of working hours) in high-exposure sectors was 1.52% lower (~24 hours/ worker/year) in highly exposed occupations (agri, forestry, mining, quarrying, & construction) due to higher temperatures compared to 1965–1994 baseline. #CMCC @granthamlse.bsky.social

Access to sufficient nutritious food is already made harder by climate change, & will get worse in the future. Agrifood systems account for approx 1/3 GHG emissions, so we need a rapid transition to low carbon diets plus greater efforts to adapt & build resilience. @countdowneurope.bsky.social

Great to present joint work with @profejzrobinson.bsky.social at the @physoc.bsky.social #GCHS2025. Adaptation including #EWS are partially effective in protecting workers from heat but still insufficient. Clear scope for government interventions: max temperature regulation & better targeted EWS
