A proposito di questo titolo

Dr. Yahel Kurlander, a specialist in agricultural labor migration, connects her field to the climate crisis, explaining how workers—particularly Thai migrants—are highly vulnerable to the escalating severe heat in agriculture and often lack the ability to refuse unsafe working conditions. She shares the emotional context of her work, including her efforts following the October 7th attacks to house and assist Thai migrant workers who escaped the massacre in the Gaza envelope. The conversation highlights that the nexus of environment, health, and labor is a critical humanitarian challenge that requires immediate policy focus.
