Renforcer le droit de retrait en période de canicule et instaurer un congé climatique
This French National Assembly bill proposes two changes to labour law linked to extreme heat. It would strengthen employees' right to withdraw from their workplace when conditions during a heatwave are judged unsafe, and it would create a new 'climate leave' that workers could use in climate-related circumstances. The aim is to protect workers' health as climate change makes hot weather more frequent and intense. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text. Employees in France, particularly those working outdoors or in hot indoor environments, would be most directly affected, as would their employers, who would face clearer obligations. The exact conditions, duration and eligibility of the changes depend on the full text, which should be consulted for details.
