QUT Connections: a forum for bold ideas
Ending modern slavery: what climate action has taught us
From your mobile phone to your solar panels, from your blueberries to your retirement savings, goods and services we purchase are too often produced and distributed through slavery. Yet, few of us realise it. The UN estimates that there are 50 million people experiencing modern slavery today.
What can we learn from climate action about working together to create the system change required to end modern slavery?
Featuring Australia’s first Anti-slavery Commissioner, Dr James Cockayne (pictured) and a panel of QUT experts (Associate Professor Erin O’Brien, Professor Rowena Maguire and Associate Professor Bree Hurst) in justice, law and business research.
