In this episode of Paper Chains, we zoom out from the reports we’ve explored on climate vulnerability and infrastructure breakdown to examine the bigger picture: how climate-driven migration is reshaping global labor markets and trafficking risks. As rising temperatures, disasters, and economic instability push more people to move in search of work and safety, those journeys increasingly intersect with informal labor systems where exploitation thrives. We explore what climate migration could mean for the future of human trafficking, how supply chains may be affected, and what governments and organizations must do to prevent the next wave of exploitation.
