Floods in Brazil Highlight the Critical Role of Living Wages in the Climate Change Discussion

In light of the recent catastrophic floods in Brazil and around the world, questions arise about how working people, who are experiencing the devastating side effects of climate change, will navigate these uncertain times and how crucial it is, now more than ever, to pay a living wage. What role does living wage and living income play in answering their reality? Carmelita Veneroso, one of our researchers based in Brazil, has written a blog delving into the heart of the situation. She sheds light on the gravity of the disaster and its effect on the livelihoods of thousands of people, some of whom Carmelita and ARI Senior researcher, Ian Prates have both worked with personally.
