<h3><br />”</h3>A UN reports say India is projected to lose 5.8 per cent of working hours in 2030 due to global warming, particularly impacting agriculture and construction sectors. The International Labour Organization said in its report named 'Working on a Warmer Planet – The Impact of Heat Stress on Labour Productivity and Decent Work'. It stated that working hours will be lost because it is too hot to work or because workers work at a slower pace. &nbsp;<br />”&nbsp;<br />”Projections are based on a global temperature rise of 1.5 degree Celsius by the end of the twenty-first century, and labour force trends. The report said India will be the most affected country. It said because of its large population, in absolute terms, India is expected to lose the equivalent of 34 million full-time jobs in 2030 in productivity.&nbsp;<br />”<br />”Most of the impact in India will be felt in the agricultural sector. But, increasing working hours are expected to be lost in the construction sector, where heat stress affects both male and female workers.<br />”<br />”The report said that costs may be higher without mitigating climate change. Heat stress is defined as generally above 35 degrees Celsius, in places with high humidity.&nbsp; The report also noted that Ahmedabad incorporated a cool roofs initiative into its 2017 Heat Action Plan, notably by providing access to affordable cool roofs for the city's slum residents and urban poor.&nbsp;<br />”<br />”<br />”<br />
