HEAT-UP WORKERS RIGHTS - NOT THE PLANET!
Building, construction and forestry workers work hard
to cool our homes, retrofit our public buildings, and build the key infrastructure that is needed
to connect, engage and create social value for the communities.
They are preserving our forests against deforestation and degradation,
on a planet that warms at record speed.
Yet, their rights and protections haven't kept the pace.
They toil outdoors in warm-season heat and extreme weather events, facing
life-threatening health risks.
1 over 4 warm-season heat-related death can be attributed to climate change.
BWI is calling for more worker health and safety protections in the time of a climate crisis!

Without building, construction and forestry workers, future generation won't grow up
in healthy urban environments, and our forests, the lungs of our planet
and home to biodiversity, will not flourish
