COP30: Health, Jobs, Justice, and Human Rights
Today at #COP30, the theme of Health, Jobs, Justice, and Human Rights highlights how these topics are deeply interconnected. The effects of climate-related hazards significantly affect agriculture and disproportionately impact those who are already disadvantaged due to factors such as poverty, discrimination, gender and income inequalities, and limited access to resources. Integrating workers’ health and decent work into the climate change impacts on agriculture is essential, as vulnerabilities exacerbate socio-economic disparities and increase climate risks. Without support for adaptation, these vulnerabilities can intensify.
In our work Climate change, decent work and workers’ health in Brazil: theoretical considerations, we highlighted the challenges, limitations, and knowledge gaps related to agricultural labour, worker health, and the increasing influence of climate change in Brazil.
