why we do our work
Extreme heat is harming workers, businesses, and social infrastructure
Heat stress is a global workforce challenge with severe health, economic, and human rights consequences.
La Isla Network has developed the knowledge and tools needed to adapt and prevent further harm to individuals, communities, and healthcare systems.
Addressing heat stress provides an early win for employers and workers, allowing La Isla Network and its partners to explore other challenges facing the workforce.
