SUMMARY:Rising Heat, Rising Risks: Protecting Farmworkers in a Changing Climate
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is co-sponsored by the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, Funders for Regenerative Agriculture, Health and Environmental Funders Network, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees, and Grantmakers In Health.\nHeat stress for outdoor workers lies at the intersection of climate change, labor rights, agriculture, and public health. Heat is the leading weather-related cause of death in the U.S., and farmworkers are especially vulnerable, being 35 times more likely to die from heat-related exposure than other workers. As temperatures globally rise, farmworkers’ unsafe working days due to heat are projected to double by the middle of the century. Without autonomy over their schedules or a federal OSHA standard regulating heat stress hazards in the workplace, farmworkers are often forced to labor through extreme temperatures or smoke from wildfires.\nIn this webinar, a panel of farmworker organizers, health experts, and policy advocates will discuss the impacts of extreme heat on farmworkers and how we can advocate for a more just food system.\nBy the end of this webinar, attendees will:\n\nUnderstand how the climate crisis threatens farmworkers’ health and safety\nGain insight into the exploitative environments faced by farmworkers\nLearn about the farmworker-led movements for improved protections and working conditions\nUnderstand the federal and state policy landscape, including constraints and opportunities\nRecognize opportunities for action and advocacy\n\nThis webinar is open to all.\nWe especially encourage you to attend if you are:\n\nA climate funder interested in the intersections between the climate crisis and agriculture\nA policymaker focused on climate, public health, labor or food systems\nA member of the public wondering how you can support farmworkers facing exploitative work environments\nThis webinar will be held in English and Spanish with interpretation for those who need it.\n\n
