Why the climate revolution must be a fair revolution.

As the climate crisis looms, this discussion paper looks at the role of the Fairtrade movement in a just, global response to climate change. From the movement’s experience and networks, to the role Fairtrade plays in directly supporting adaptation to climate change by small farmers in countries of the global south and our contribution to debates around sustainable consumption. This discussion paper looks at why climate change is a central issue for the Fairtrade movement and explores our response and role.
