Understanding human physiology in order to mitigate climate change

    Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

    Abstract

    • Climate change means people will be working and living in more extreme conditions
    • In high-income countries, people spend most of their time indoors and have lost their thermal resilience
    • An understanding of human physiology enables us to characterise the impact of climate change on human health and productivity, and design environments that help maintain both
    • By employing insights into human physiology, it is possible to maintain comfort, health and productivity with less energy consumption and carbon emissions
    • A priority is to educate about climate change and thereby promote behavioural change
