Glass bangle industry faces new adversary - climate change

By Economic Times - 3 months ago
The traditional glass bangle industry in Firozabad, known as the 'City of Glass,' is facing severe challenges due to climate change. The ring temperatures exacerbate health risks for the five lakh workers employed in the Rs 1,000 crore industry. Workers endure extreme heat in poorly ventilated workshops, leading to heat-related illnesses, dehydration, and hospitalisations. There is an urgent need for support and interventions to protect their health and livelihoods.
