Climate change is no longer a distant risk for occupational safety and health – it is already shaping working conditions across Europe. EU‑OSHA has now published a comprehensive set of resources exploring how climate-related developments will affect the future of work and worker protection.

The materials bring together research, scenarios and policy perspectives to better understand what lies ahead. They highlight how increasing temperatures, extreme weather events and broader environmental changes will influence both physical and psychosocial risks in the workplace.

Particularly valuable are the forward-looking scenarios and policy briefs, which translate long-term developments into concrete implications for decision-makers, organizations and practitioners. They show that adapting to climate change in OSH will require not only technical measures, but also strategic planning and cross-sector collaboration.

For the OSH community, these resources provide a solid basis for anticipating future challenges and integrating climate considerations into prevention strategies today. Explore the full set of resources.
