So to combat heat stress, we need to consider not only rising temperatures, but changing forms of work

Considering both sides, we can get a good idea of what 2050 will look like for the worker in our global factory

But not everyone experiences this risk equally

The time your body spends at unsafe temperatures depends on the work you do - and the roles within that work

If you work in the ironing section of a garment factory, then you spend 10x longer at unsafe temperatures than a cutter

Global temperatures are now 1.5˚C above pre-industrial averages - and still rising every year

This means that intense, once-a-decade heatwaves now happen every 2-3 years
