India Faces Highest Labour Loss Due to Climate Change, Says Study

-Newsclick.in

The study found that with rising heat and humidity levels because of climate change, options for moving outdoor labour to cooler hours will dramatically shrink, leading to significant worldwide labour losses.

India is one of the countries to have experienced the highest loss in labour due to global warming, according to a recent study led by Duke University researchers. The study, which was published in Nature Communications on December 14, 2021, projected that economic losses associated with this lost productivity could reach up to $1.6 trillion (Rs 1.6 lakh crore) annually if warming exceeds an additional 2 degrees Celsius relative to the present.

The study found that with rising heat and humidity levels because of climate change, options for moving outdoor labour to cooler hours will dramatically shrink, leading to significant worldwide labour losses. If that happens, labour losses in the coolest half of the day will exceed current losses in the hottest half, according to the researchers.
