Abstract

I presented evidence from a cross-sectional analysis of 60 producing economies showing that climate-vulnerability indices are strongly correlated with downstream forced-labour risk in food-system supply chains, even after controlling for governance quality and HDI. The talk argued for treating climate adaptation and labour-rights protection as a single design problem.
