<h1>Study warns climate-driven health risks could cost businesses $1.5T in productivity by 2050, raising legal and insurance liabilities</h1> A global study projects climate-driven health risks could cause at least USD 1.5 trillion in lost productivity by 2050 across food and agriculture, the built environment, and health sectors, exposing businesses to mounting operational, regulatory and liability risks and insurers to rising claims. The report highlights legal and compliance implications: duty to protect workforce health, potential obligations under evolving climate and labor regulation, increased exposure to insurance claims and litigation, and the need for governance, interoperable health-climate data, and financing mechanisms to meet adaptation standards and demonstrate due diligence.
