A fatal accident led this man to devote his career to protecting migrant workers

When Ashif Shaikh was 17, three migrant workers were killed in an explosion at a firecracker factory near his home in India. Having grown up in an excluded community in India, Shaikh had faced his own experiences with insecurity, discrimination and a lack of protection for workers. While still a teen, he founded the non-profit Jan Sahas, and he is now CEO of People's Courage International, which works to support internal migrants, strengthen grassroots organizations, and prevent sexual violence against women and children. Without action, climate change could result in 14.5 million excess deaths by 2050. A new insight report from the World Economic Forum, Building Economic Resilience to the Health Impacts of Climate Change, proposes 8 steps that companies can take to shore up the health of their staff, the security of their business and the safety of wider society.
