Extreme weather and rising temperatures are a growing human rights risk for road transport, which directly affects drivers' rights to life, health and dignity. Severe physical exhaustion, dehydration and cognitive impairment resulting from extreme heat can significantly increase the risk of road accidents and supply chain disruptions. These risks can be exacerbated by structural failures: subcontracted drivers may live in cabins that lack the necessary climate control. Furthermore, piece-rate pay systems can coerce drivers economically into navigating dangerous conditions, such as floods or wildfires, to avoid income loss.
