Back in 2018, heat strain caused an 11.3% fall in average productivity across Singapore\u2019s four big economic sectors \u2014 services, construction, manufacturing and agriculture. And it\u2019s on course to worsen.<\/p>\n<p>Fall in productivity is expected to rise to 14% in 2035, leading to an economic loss of S$2.22 billion ($1.64 billion), after adjusting for inflation, the NUS Project HeatSafe report said. The loss will be significantly higher for workers exposed to adverse environmental conditions \u2014 those working working under the sun, or being exposed to other sources of heat such as machineries.<\/p>\n<p>The island-nation is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe, with its UV index recently hitting \u201cextreme\u201d levels for the second time within four days, the highest band in Singapore\u2019s gauge for solar UV radiation. The latest update reflects a \u201cmoderate\u201d level as of Wednesday. The Southeast Asian country is not alone in facing this intense heat. Earlier in February, scientists warned that the world has surpassed a key warming threshold across an entire year for the first time on record. Last July, United Nations\u2019 Secretary-General Antonio Guterres cautioned that the world has moved away from global warming to \u201can era of global boiling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/04\/03\/heat-strain-could-cost-singapores-economy-over-1point5-billion-in-losses.html\">CNBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-508\/\">Singapore\u2019s economic losses due to heat stress could nearly double to over $1.5 billion in 2035<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1052,575,8159,1134],"class_list":["post-129424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-economy","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-heat-stress","tag-singapore"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129424"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129424\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
