Abstract: The irreversible global climate change has resulted in significant adverse impacts on every aspect of life around the globe. The world of work is experiencing a profound transition due to climate change that will influence all workforces, workers, and job seekers. Climate changes like extreme weather, rising temperatures, land loss, pollution, etc., are dangerous and unpleasant conditions that will compromise productivity and change the workforce and job structure in the future. Addressing changes in the climate and proactively developing a robust and skilled workforce will be critical to attaining full employment and economic growth. This paper attempts to recognise the impact of climate change on the workforce in the future.
