Global climate change will increase outdoor and indoor heat loads, and may impair health and productivity for millions of working people. This study applies physiological evidence about effects of heat, climate guidelines for safe work environments, climate modelling and global distributions of...

The aim of the study is to quantify climate induced health risks for Germany. Based on high resolution climate scenarios for the period 2071 to 2100 we forecast the number of days with heat load and cold stress. The heat frequency and intensity increases overall but more in the south. Referring...

In this paper we present a sector-based approach to investigate whether green growth - combining economic growth with environmental sustainability - is feasible. Our approach considers the relation between on the one hand carbon dioxide emissions per dollar of output (what we will call carbon...
