Excessively hot environments cause physiological strain, reduce the number of productive working hours, decrease the capacity of assimilating information and interfere with decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>In a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-021-26050-z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new study<\/a>, scientists from the European Commission\u2019s Joint Research Centre and other European research institutions estimate the GDP losses due to the negative effects of heatwaves on human productivity.<\/p>\n<p>They calculate that heatwaves in recent, exceptionally hot years, such as 2003, 2010, 2015, and 2018 lead to a yearly loss of 0.3-0.5% of European gross domestic product (GDP).<\/p>\n<p>This is already 1.5 to 2.5 times more than the average 0.2% GDP loss due to extreme heat in the years between 1981 and 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The study projects that GDP losses will grow steadily over the next 40 years in Europe. It estimates that the costs of heatwaves will increase to an expected yearly average of 0.77% of GDP in 2035-2045, to around 0.96% in 2045-2055 and will go beyond 1.14% in the 2060s.<\/p>\n<h3>Southern Europe suffers the most severe impact<\/h3>\n<p>The study found that southern European countries would have the highest economic losses due to excessive heat. Cyprus will be the most affected, where yearly losses could amount to 3-3.5% of the country\u2019s GDP by 2060.<\/p>\n<p>Portugal, Spain, and Croatia will gradually move from a range of yearly losses of 2% in 2040 to around 3% in 2060. Romania, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria will also experience considerable increases in their expected impact.<\/p>\n<p>Central European countries will experience lower but still significant negative impacts. The study projects that in Germany by 2050 heatwaves will on average cause a yearly loss of 0.5% of the country\u2019s GDP.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, Scandinavian countries, the United Kingdom and Iceland will suffer smaller yearly losses of up to 0.2% of GDP, or no losses at all.<\/p>\n<p>There are also large variations between regions within the same country. The maps below show the estimated economic costs of heatwaves as a share of regional GDP in the four extreme years (2003, 2010, 2015, and 2018), which the study analysed closer. Damages in these regions often surpass 1% of GDP, reaching nearly 2% in southernmost regions.<\/p>\n<p>The most affected regions are those that have a hot climate and where outdoor sectors, such as for example construction, agriculture and tourism, make up a large share in the regional economy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"media media-element-container media-default\">\n<div id=\"file-188795\" class=\"file file-image file-image-png\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<p><a class=\"colorbox init-colorbox-processed cboxElement\" title=\"Cost of heatwaves, on the regional level, as a share of regional GDP in the four years analysed.\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/jrc\/sites\/default\/files\/cost_of_heatwaves_maps_web.png\" rel=\"gallery-file-188795-1vpxLRSpolg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"media-element file-default\" title=\"Cost of heatwaves, on the regional level, as a share of regional GDP in the four years analysed.\" src=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/jrc\/sites\/default\/files\/cost_of_heatwaves_maps_web.png\" alt=\"Cost of heatwaves, on the regional level, as a share of regional GDP in the four years analysed.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2060\" data-delta=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"field field-name-field-file-image-caption field-type-text field-label-hidden\">\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item even\">Cost of heatwaves, on the regional level, as a share of regional GDP in the four years analysed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"below-image-text\">\u00a9<span class=\"copyright\">David Garc\u00eda-Le\u00f3n, Nature Communications, CC BY 4.0,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Adapting the workplace to rising temperatures<\/h3>\n<p>This study can help policymakers draft policies that minimise the impact of rising temperatures on European workers, as highlighted in the EU\u2019s new\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/clima\/policies\/adaptation\/what_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Climate Adaptation Strategy<\/a>\u00a0of February 2021.
