WG14 – Climate shocks and labour market transitions in agriculture

This working group engages with the effects of climate shocks and the green transition on agricultural and rural labour market dynamics. It aims i) to share recent empirical evidence and case studies on how climate shocks affect employment, informality, and decent work outcomes, ii) to explore the adjustment costs of labour reallocation, considering occupational skill specificity and mismatches, and impacts on welfare and labour mobility, iii) to discuss the implications of climate- and technology-driven changes for agricultural workforce development systems, iv) to identify policy solutions that can reduce vulnerability, support decent work, and ensure inclusive transitions for all, and v) to foster collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.
