Climate change and shifting environmental conditions are presenting new challenges for the workplace. Rising temperatures, heat stress and more frequent extreme weather events can impact labour markets, affect working conditions and introduce or exacerbate occupational risks. These developments underline the importance of effective countermeasures, such as training, prevention, risk assessment and protective measures in the workplace. Against this backdrop, Germany’s Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and Türkiye’s Ministry of Labour and Social Security intend to leverage COP31 in Antalya to highlight the impact changing climate conditions have on workers around the world. The event will focus on approaches to identifying, assessing and preventing risks for workers and on reviewing and enhancing existing OSH systems so that they can adapt effectively to changing working conditions. It will also outline the expected impact on labour markets and how this impact can be mitigated.
