The garment industry in Bangladesh and India is grappling with severe heat stress due to rising temperatures, impacting worker productivity and economic stability. Factory temperatures often reach 40°C (104°F), exacerbated by machinery and poor ventilation, creating hazardous working conditions for seven months of the year. Research indicates indoor temperatures are consistently higher than outdoor temperatures, leading to a decline in productivity and increased risk of heat-related illnesses. This poses a substantial economic and humanitarian threat to the garment sector, a major contributor to both countries' economies.
