Statements

People whose occupation makes them more likely to be adversely impacted by climate change. Often, these are jobs which are inherently risky -- for example, fire risk for firefighters or health risks for healthcare workers -- and the magnitude and/or frequency of those risks are increasing due to the effects of climate change.
