About this event
Record-breaking heatwaves are no longer rare; they’re reshaping global business.
From construction to finance to HR, extreme heat is driving productivity losses, health risks, insurance claims, and infrastructure disruptions.
This isn’t just about weather awareness: it’s about preparedness.
Join us for a high-impact session where leading voices from EHAB and DSR break down:
- Why heat risk is a structural business issue
- What to do this week with a 15-day forecast
- How to go beyond data and build a repeatable response process
- Why adaptation is no longer optional
This webinar is designed for operational leaders, ESG teams, risk officers, innovators, and any organisation struggling with how to turn climate data into action.
Frequently asked questions
Because it causes hidden health impacts—like dehydration and organ failure—without dramatic visuals. Heat kills more people annually than any other weather hazard.
It increases fatigue, heatstroke, and accidents. Outdoor sectors like construction and logistics see higher risks, making worker protection essential.
Chronic kidney, heart, and respiratory issues can develop. Over time, repeated exposure damages organs and reduces worker resilience.
In Europe alone, 2022 heatwaves caused 60,000+ deaths. Globally, heat now kills more people annually than floods, storms, or hurricanes.
Heat slows concrete curing, halts lifting, and makes conditions unsafe. Projects face costly delays and strained client relationships.
ILO estimates 80M job losses by 2030 due to heat stress—trillions in lost output globally, with outdoor work most exposed.
Shift hours, enforce breaks, add shade, and use 15-day forecasts to plan workloads safely. Proactive measures reduce risks and costs.
OSHA (US) and HSE (UK) require employers to mitigate heat stress with training, hydration, and adjusted schedules.
Roads buckle, rails warp, grids fail. Logistics and energy-heavy industries face costly downtime and cascading supply impacts.
Heatwaves already cost trillions globally. By 2030, annual economic losses from heat are projected to hit $2.4 trillion.
McKinsey warns of 4–6% working hour losses in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America due to rising heat stress.
They impact workforce safety, supply chains, insurance, and ESG scores. Boards must treat heat risk as strategy, not weather.
Rising claims for downtime, health, and asset damage push premiums higher. Insurers increasingly factor heat risk into policies.
Extreme heat lowers GDP growth by 0.5–1% annually in vulnerable regions, showing the systemic cost of inaction.
Heat extremes are now yearly, not rare. Companies that fail to adapt face mounting costs, supply risks, and reputational damage.
It means building resilience into operations so companies keep performing under stress—balancing profit and long-term stability.
Industry dashboards like WeatherWise offer site-specific warnings, tailored to construction, energy, and finance needs.
Dashboards like WeatherWise plus WHO trackers and supply chain monitors help leaders see and act on risks early.
Start small: define thresholds, assign ownership, and adopt monitoring. Then scale across sites to make adaptation routine.
