SUMMARY:Climatic Precarity in Southeast Asia: Work, Risk and Exploitation under Climate Change
LOCATION:Room 3.02
DESCRIPTION:Southeast Asia is a region experiencing rapid economic developm
 ent and high levels of vulnerability to climate change. As such, it is incr
 easingly recognised that ‘existing environmental inequalities in terms of e
 xposure to ill-health and localised degradation are not reproduced or exace
 rbated, while aiming to alleviate a global environmental threat such as cli
 mate change’ (Newell and Mulvaney, 2013: 133). Viewed thus, ‘the world of w
 ork is intimately connected with the natural environment’ (ILO, 2019: 16), 
 leading to growing interest in a precarity frame to observe their intersect
 ions. Not only does  ‘climate change exacerbate precariousness, ‘disrupting
  all work and intensifying and extending individual risk’ (Newman and Humph
 rys, 2019: 1), it does so in ways that exacerbate risk for the poorest and 
 most precarious workers. Yet despite this, industrial sustainability thinki
 ng has generally had little to say about workers. This panel directly addre
 sses this theory-policy-practice gap by advancing a ‘climate precarity’ fra
 me (Natarajan et al., 2020) to highlight how climate change is coproduced b
 y industrial working conditions and environmental risk. In doing so, we cen
 tre workers’ participation in planning and decision-making as key to suppor
 ting both adaptation and mitigation policy. Focusing on a range of industri
 es, from agriculture to the garment sector, we will evidence how labour pre
 carities – rapid turnover, high productivity, low security manufacturing as
 sociated with workplace precarity, stress, and violence (Gibbs, 2019) – are
  linked also to vulnerability to climate change impacts, including excessiv
 e workplace heat, urban and peri-urban disasters such as floods, and econom
 ic precarities linked to the failure of family farms.
