Blood Bricks Examining Climate Change

项目摘要

'Climate change and slavery: the perfect storm?' - this was the prescient headline of The Guardian (2013) which called for more international conversation on the links between these urgent threats to environmental and human security. This study forwards this call by examining the inter-linkages between climate change, different axes of structural inequality (e.g. gender, age), and vulnerability to trafficking into modern slavery. The project asks who is most at the 'receiving end' of climate change, is most likely to enter into modern slavery, and who has fewer capabilities and resources than others to adapt to climate change in alternative ways?The research is based in Cambodia, the world's second most climate vulnerable country in 2014. This status derives not only from the heightened climate risks its faces in the form of floods and droughts, but also the lack of capacity to adapt and respond. Eighty percent of the population lives in rural areas with limited knowledge, infrastructure and opportunities; and more than 70 percent rely on agriculture that is heavily sensitive to climate change (UNDP 2014). In 2016, Cambodia also recorded the third highest proportion of modern slaves per capita in the world. Under these compelling set of circumstances then, the project focuses on the Cambodian construction industry as a means to examine how climate change facilitates trafficking into modern slavery and ongoing livelihoods within it. UK and Cambodian scholars will undertake challenging research that aims to combine qualitative interviews with construction industry informants and victims of modern slavery working in brick-kilns and construction sites; agro-ecological profiling, a quantitative household survey, and interviews in brick-kiln sender villages; and analysis of longitudinal secondary data (Cambodia Socio-Economic Study 2014). Findings will improve understanding of the 'deadly dance' of environmental destruction and modern slavery.

“气候变化和奴隶制：完美的风暴？” - 这是《卫报》（2013年）的有先见之明的标题，它呼吁对这些紧急威胁与环境和人类安全之间的联系进行更多的国际对话。这项研究通过检查气候变化，结构不平等的不同轴（例如性别，年龄）和贩运陷入现代奴隶制的脆弱性之间的联系来转发这一呼吁。该项目询问谁在气候变化的“接收末端”中最有可能进入现代奴隶制，谁比其他人更少能力和资源以替代方式适应气候变化？该研究基于柬埔寨，柬埔寨是世界上第二大气候脆弱的国家，这也不只是造成洪水范围的范围，而且造成了洪水的范围，并且遭受了洪水的影响，并且遭受了洪水的侵害。回应。 80％的人口生活在农村地区，知识，基础设施和机会有限；超过70％的人依靠对气候变化非常敏感的农业（开发计划署2014）。 2016年，柬埔寨还记录了全球人均现代奴隶的第三高比例。在这些引人注目的情况下，该项目的重点是柬埔寨建筑业，以此作为研究气候变化如何促进贩运现代奴隶制和持续生计的一种手段。英国和柬埔寨学者将进行具有挑战性的研究，旨在结合与建筑行业线人以及现代奴隶制的受害者的定性访谈。农业生态分析，一项定量家庭调查以及砖尔恩发件人村的访谈；和纵向二级数据的分析（柬埔寨社会经济研究2014）。调查结果将改善对环境破坏和现代奴隶制的“致命舞蹈”的理解。
