5/n But there is already insufficient adaptation.
There are also limits to adaptation, & some adaptation strategies such as shifting working hours to the evening/night can expose workers to other negative health impacts, such as vector-borne diseases & disrupted sleep patterns.

In extreme cases, heat stress can lead to worker deaths: nearly 10,000 workers are estimated to die every year in the Gulf countries due to heat stress.
