And we know that climate change is the biggest threat that we’re facing in the short and long term to our health. So, it is all about health. It should be all about health."

"We have reached record, very concerning new levels in the latest year of data. To give you an example, we’re seeing that the death of a very vulnerable age group of people over 65 years of age that is due to extreme heat exposure have increased. And, in particular, heat related death has reached 167% increase since the 1990s, more than twice the level that we could have expected without temperature change. We’re also seeing, as a result of extreme heat exposure, that people’s capacity to work outdoors is increasingly limited. And the health of workers is being put at risk. And with that, what we’re seeing is that the loss of hours of labor is growing because of the rising temperatures. It reached a record high by 512 billion potential labor hours being lost in 2023 because of heat exposure."
