Too Hot To Work

Join us for a screening of “Too Hot To Work,” a film demonstrating the effects of extreme heat on workers around the world, plus remarks from experts on climate and health.
The film explores how heat is endangering workers’ health and how it affects their productivity, incomes, and businesses. It also delves into how a warmer climate may transform the way we work and how workers, businesses, and governments have to adapt to this growing risk. The documentary features powerful testimonies from workers across different backgrounds, regions of the world, and sectors, including agriculture, construction, delivery package workers, clothing, and more.
