Assessment of Climate Change Related Heat Stress Among Workers in Upper Egypt : Impact of Intervention Program on Physiological Responses
N/A NCT07538778 Kind: NA Apr 20, 2026
Abstract
Climate change has a significant impact on human health and productivity at work. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United Nations, climate change is one of the most significant global challenges of the 21st century. It is defined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as "a change in climate that is directly or indirectly attributable to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and that is in addition to the natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods".
Climate change has led to a significant increase in global average temperatures; temperatures on average have increased by about 1.1°C since pre-industrial times . In addition, the intensity, frequency, and duration of heatwaves have been rapidly increasing around the globe . Nineteen out of the 20 warmest years on record have occurred since 2000.
Occupational exposure associated with rising temperatures and climate change has become a concern to the health and safety, productivity, and social well-being of the world's diversified workforce. As a result, the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are focused on ensuring healthy lifestyles, promoting wellbeing, ensuring decent employment and work capacity, and combating the effects of climate change on all sectors of development. Climate change continues to pose an immediate and long-term threat to human survival around the world; hence, the global ag...
