Which regions experience excessive heat and excessive working hours?

Which subpopulations have the worst decent working conditions?

Which crops are at the greatest risk due to unsafe environmental measures and have the greatest exposure to agrochemicals?

The visualisation allows you to combine each element of decent work as well as climate hazards to answer your own questions.

Our assessment builds on the framework developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which defines climate risk as the product of three interacting factors: hazards (the climate threats), exposure (who and what is in harm’s way), and vulnerability (how susceptible people are to those threats). We adapted this framework specifically to examine climate risks through a decent work lens, understating as a multi-faceted concept comprised of 10 core elements linked to the five strategic pillars of the ILO’s decent work agenda, intended to improve working conditions.
