"Soon India could become one of the first places in the world to experience heat waves that break the human survivability limit," the document said, per the reports.It was prepared on the occasion of a two-day conference between the government of India's Kerala region and the World Bank, The Independent reported. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/india-birds-fall-from-sky-india-amid-record-122f-heatwave-2022-5">India already experienced a crushing, weekslong heatwave</a> earlier this year, where temperatures in several cities <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/14/opinion/environment/heat-waves-india-pakistan-climate-change.html">reached passed 110°F</a>.It represented a peak for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/heat-waves-are-dominating-summer-and-its-not-abnormal-anymore-2022-7">soaring temperatures worldwide,</a> with parts of the US and <a href="https://www.insider.com/photos-show-how-people-are-dealing-with-european-heatwave-2022-7">Europe</a> also struggling to adapt to high humidity and waves of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-maps-forecast-extreme-heat-fires-may-last-weeks-2022-7">wildfires</a>.

If India does not curb its carbon emissions, its heatwaves are "likely to last 25 times longer by 2036-65," the World Bank report said, <a href="https://www.g20climaterisks.org/india/">citing a 2021 assessment by the G20</a>.According to the World Bank report, India will need "massive cooling infrastructure across all sectors" in order to protect vulnerable workers."Up to 75 percent of India's workforce, or 380 million people, depend on heat-exposed labor, at times working in potentially life-threatening temperature," the report said.The impact both on labor productivity — and human health — is severe, with many working within "potentially life-threatening temperatures" at times, it said. But, with the average income being $2 a day, conventional electric fans or air conditioning units are out of reach for many, it said.
