climate change

Over the past decade, climate change has gone from being a distant concern to a reality that affects everyone in multiple ways. As extreme weather events become more frequent and intense, one aspect of particular concern stands out: the impact on workers' health. For instance, farmers working in the sun are experiencing higher rates of heatstroke and dehydration, while first responders facing increasingly powerful wildfires are at risk of respiratory issues due to the smoke. These are just a few examples of how the effects of climate change manifest themselves acutely in work environments.

The fact that our planet is called "Earth" is a bit misleading as 70% of the surface of the globe is oceanic.

China is the world's second-largest economy, with plans to take first place for the next decade and thus put an end to U.S. hegemony. However, the consequences of climate change seem to threaten the rapid Chinese growth, which had already been slowing down since 2019, with the longest drought in 60 years. A third of the Asian giant's territory suffers from high temperatures and lack of rainfall, affecting China's economic dynamism.

The central agenda of world leaders and business leaders revolved around four points, climate change, rising inflation, Russia's special military operation and how it aggravated the energy and food crisis.
