One temperature record follows the next. July 21 was again the hottest day since weather records began. The consequences are increasingly affecting workers around the globe. A report by the International Labor Organization (ILO) shows that significantly more workers in Europe and Central Asia are now affected. Between 2000 and 2020, the number of workers exposed to extreme heat increased by around 17 percent in Europe and Central Asia. Globally, the increase was almost nine percent.
