That's not going to work in the South. Demand adapted buildings, housing, and AC where applicable.

It's specifically for "jobs in sectors like agriculture and construction", not sure better buildings will help the workers out on fields and construction sites much.

Although one temperature threshold probably don't make much sense, a strict 30C across the entire continent would mean massively different things in different countries, in many countries that mean basically the entire summer off, every year.

This would be wet bulb, not dry bulb: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48861424
It matters when the heat stress continues when you're not at work. You can tolerate a lot more if your body gets actual breaks from the heat.
It's not clear from the article, but I think it's obvious they are referring to jobs that require being outdoors
Most places in the south already have AC

And the ones that don't have it, oh well, too bad :)

Read the article. This applies to outdoor jobs only.
Yes, outdoor work should already have had this!
The south of what?
