UAE-based workers are exposed to escalating climate risks, especially extreme heat, which is linked to chronic health harms and even death." Combined with labor abuses like passport confiscation, recruitment fees, and wage theft it is clear that workers in the UAE are enduring a lot. #COP28 is just around the corner and it's imperative that these issues are not glossed over.

The UAE has the sixth-largest number of migrants in the world. A staggering 88 per cent of its 10 million people are international migrants, according to Human Rights Watch. These expatriate workers in the UAE contributed to their home countries more than $47.5bn in 2021, making the UAE the second biggest source of remittances in the world, notes the ILO. Tying in with this statistic is a survey conducted in 2022 by insurance company Friends Provident International which found that retiring early remains out of reach for many in the workforce, with 45 per cent of residents saying they had not yet started saving for their golden years.
