                            The WHO and WMO have released a comprehensive technical report and guidance addressing the escalating global health and economic risks posed by extreme heat, particularly in the workplace. This guidance builds on five decades of research and responds to the record-breaking temperatures of recent years, with 2023 being the hottest year on record.
