Climate Change, Migration, and Exploitation in Southeast Asia

The past decade has been the hottest on record, with Asia warming nearly twice as fast as the global average. In Southeast Asia, rising temperatures, droughts, and extreme weather are intensifying existing inequalities, hitting rural and low-income workers in sectors like agriculture, construction, and fishing the hardest. As livelihoods collapse, many are forced to migrate to cities or abroad in search of work. This event will explore how the climate crisis is reshaping lives and mobility in Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines, drawing on new research featured in the latest Anti-Trafficking Review.
