Research to help farmworkers deal with climate change

Farmworker communities face increasingly dire threats linked to climate change. From extreme heat, air pollution, and floor damage, to crop failures from drought and diseases, this project aims to map where pathways of climate precarity intersect with social vulnerabilities among farmworker communities.

Across two years, researchers and community based organizations (CBOs) will work with farmworkers to hear directly from them what is needed to mitigate the impacts of climate change on their work and daily life.
