Political ecology of agri-labor migration systems in Turkey: Syrian Refugees and Migrant Workers in Perspective

This article examines the climate vulnerability of seasonal migrant farm workers in the context of both socio-economic vulnerability and migratory labour systems, which have been neglected in vulnerability and adaptation studies. Migrant farmworkers experience livelihood stress from multiple sources of socio-economic vulnerability such as class, poverty, gender, age, disability, and ethnicity. They may be undocumented migrants, slum dwellers, marginalised minorities, women, refugees, or children. Against this background, and focusing on the case of Turkey, in this article we present factors that contribute to the climate vulnerability of migrant farm workers and mechanisms through which it interacts with the already high social vulnerability
