“The Increasing Risks to Our People-Powered Economy” is a new analysis from the National Commission on Climate and Workforce Health examining the threats posed by extreme climate conditions to workforce and business health.
The analysis includes data points from a range of recently published studies on climate and employee health. It also highlights unique insights from more than 100 interviews with C-suite executives and other business leaders, public health officials and climate science experts, alongside quantitative findings from a March 2024 survey of health and benefits leaders — both conducted by the Health Action Alliance.
The report sheds light on the risks, identifies key challenges preventing businesses from taking action, and serves as a catalyst to help leaders chart a path toward creating climate-resilient workforces.
