RMG
The Challenge
Indoor workplace temperatures exceeding 31°C WBGT in garment factories
48% of workers reporting unsafe thermal conditions during peak months
Up to 20% productivity loss attributable to heat stress in factory environments
Estimated 361 kt CO₂e annual emissions from surveyed factory operations
The Approach
Conducted worker diagnostic surveys on heat exposure and working conditions
Performed carbon accounting and emissions analysis for factory operations
Co-designed climate adaptation and mitigation strategies with Oxfam and factory stakeholders
The Result
Quantified the cost of climate inaction for Bangladesh's RMG sector
Identified 210 kt CO₂e in avertable emissions by 2030 through targeted interventions
Implemented pilot programs in 2 factories demonstrating replicable solutions
Generated policy traction with industry and government stakeholders
