“…Understanding the relationship between endurance time and Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) values is crucial for training workers in very hot environments and ensuring their health and safety (41). Elevated carbon emissions in the atmosphere contribute to extremely hot environments and climate changes, exacerbating occupational heat strains for outdoor workers (55). A high-quality air and work environment can enhance worker safety, health, productivity, and company pro tability (35,47).…”

Purpose: Global warming has led to an increase in the number and intensity of extreme heat events, posing a significant threat to the health and safety of workers, especially those working outdoors, as they often have limited access to cooling strategies. This systematic literature review aims to compile strategies to enhance occupational heat stress resilience among outdoor workers in the context of climate change. Materials and Methods: In this systematic review, we searched scientific databases including Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed. Additionally, we identified relevant studies on climate change and heat-stress control measures through Google Scholar using specific search terms. In total, we monitored 2001 articles pertaining to worker populations (men=2921; women=627) in various outdoor climate conditions across 14 countries. Results. Global warming significantly contributes to the rise in occupational heat stress. Failure to implement effective control strategies for outdoor workers will result in decreased resilience to thermal stress. The findings underscore a lack of awareness regarding certain adaptation strategies and interventions aimed at preventing and enhancing resilience to the impact of climate change on heat stress prevalence among workers in outdoor tropical and subtropical environments. Conclusion. The integration of climate change adaptation strategies into occupational health programs can enhance occupational heat resilience among outdoor workers. Conducting cost-benefit evaluations of health and safety measures for thermal stress adaptation strategies among outdoor workers is crucial for professionals and policymakers in low- and middle-income tropical and subtropical countries. Projected future global warming conditions will dangerously affect the anticipated occupational heat stress resilience of outdoor workers worldwide. Risk management strategies, adaptive measures, heat risk awareness, practical interventions, training programs, and protective policies should be implemented in hot-dry and hot-humid climates to boost the tolerance and resilience of outdoor workers.

“…Agroforestry systems are particularly effective, with the ability of trees to mitigate the possible effects of climate change [73]. Quantitatively, this is manifested in a decrease in soil losses and crop death during the manifestation of dust storms and abnormal droughts [74].…”

The purpose of the study is an economic assessment of the effectiveness of agroforestry based on determining the value of ecosystem services of an afforested model land object and extrapolating the data obtained to the territory of the south of the Volga upland with identical natural and economic conditions to the model. The study presents a methodology for the economic assessment of ecosystem goods and services of forested agricultural landscapes based on the modern classification of ecosystem services: CICES. It is established that the economic value of the regional ecosystem product provided by forested lands in the dry steppe is USD 1323 per 1 ha of agroforest landscape per year (price for 2021 on average for 30 years). Of these, regulatory and maintenance services account for 52% of the total economic value, security services—45%, and cultural services—3%. The projected economic value of ecosystem services that will be provided by afforested lands in the south of the Volga upland, the price for 2025, taking into account inflation, is estimated at almost USD 20 million. This value is a sufficient justification for conducting forest reclamation works in the region and providing recommendations for their necessity for small enterprises and farms.

“…In addition, limited access to essential resources poses a significant challenge. Advanced farming technologies (Mahmud, et al, 2021;Sahoo et al, 2021), irrigation facilities, and financial support are often inaccessible to many farmers, particularly those in remote areas. The high cost of adopting sustainable practices further exacerbates the problem (Sumane, et al, 2018).…”

This study presents an in-depth analysis of climate finance within the agricultural sector and its pivotal role in fostering sustainability in agrarian economies. It investigates the availability, accessibility, challenges, and effective utilization of climate finance. Climate finance emerges as a critical resource for establishing funding mechanisms and incentives that support sustainable agricultural practices, bolstering resilience and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Secondary sources, including books, journals, articles, policy documents, and reports, provide the data for this research. The findings of this study underscore a vital revelation: private investors play a crucial role in augmenting climate finance, thereby facilitating the transition to sustainable agriculture. It is evident that their participation significantly enhances the financial support available to farmers and agricultural stakeholders. Furthermore, the study reveals that a combined effort from both government and private investors has yielded considerable progress in advancing climate finance investment within India’s agricultural sector. This collaborative approach has proven instrumental in addressing the challenges faced by those seeking climate finance in agriculture. It has effectively increased awareness, streamlined application processes, and strengthened institutional support, ultimately driving the adoption of sustainable practices. The implications of this research extend to policymakers, agricultural institutions, and financial organizations, highlighting the pivotal role of private investors in improving climate finance accessibility. The future scope of this research suggests that the effective utilization of climate finance has the potential to catalyse the widespread adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. The study emphasizes the importance of channelling climate finance through a variety of stakeholders to maximize its utility and make use of all available resources and instruments.
