Observation on data availability/gaps

Data and map shows how labour productivity is expected to change in Malaysia due to heat stress at different global warming levels compared to the reference period 1986-2006, based on different scenarios. Heat stress impact on labour productivity indicates the percentage decrease in efficiency during regular working hours under hot and humid climate conditions, due to the reduced capacity of the human body to perform physical labour.
