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：完美风暴？这是《卫报》（2013年）富有先见之明的标题，呼吁就这些对环境和人类安全的紧迫威胁之间的联系进行更多的国际对话。本研究报告通过审查气候变化、结构性不平等的不同轴心（例如性别、年龄）和易被贩运成为现代奴隶之间的相互联系，提出了这一呼吁。该项目提出的问题是，谁最容易受到气候变化的影响，谁最有可能成为现代奴隶，谁的能力和资源比其他人更少，无法以其他方式适应气候变化？这项研究是在柬埔寨进行的，柬埔寨是2014年全球第二大气候脆弱国家。这一状况不仅是因为其面临的洪水和干旱形式的气候风险加剧，而且也是因为缺乏适应和应对能力。80%的人口生活在知识、基础设施和机会有限的农村地区; 70%以上的人口依赖对气候变化非常敏感的农业（UNDP 2014）。2016年，柬埔寨也是世界上人均现代奴隶比例第三高的国家。在这些令人信服的情况下，然后，该项目的重点是柬埔寨建筑业作为一种手段，以研究气候变化如何促进贩运到现代奴隶制和持续的生计。英国和柬埔寨学者将进行具有挑战性的研究，旨在结合联合收割机定性采访建筑业的线人和受害者的现代奴隶制工作在砖窑和建筑工地;农业生态概况分析、定量家庭调查和砖窑生产者村庄访谈;以及纵向二级数据分析（柬埔寨社会经济研究，2014年）。研究结果将提高对环境破坏和现代奴隶制的“致命舞蹈”的理解。
