Eco-Business Press Releases
In food and agriculture, climate health impacts could lead to US$740 billion in lost output, triggering serious consequences for global food security.
In the built environment sector, climate health impacts are projected to result in productivity losses of US$570 billion.
The health and healthcare sector stands to lose US$200 billion in productivity due to workforce climate health illness, while rising climate-driven disease rates among the wider population could compound demand pressures.
The insurance industry, meanwhile, is projected to experience a sharp rise in climate health claims.
Each sector is uniquely positioned to develop and scale solutions to emerging climate health challenges.
