Global: Why the climate revolution must be a fair revolution

It is those at the heart of the Fairtrade movement, poor farmers and workers, in developing countries, that are at the very frontline of the climate crisis. These individuals and their families are already reporting to us the impact that climate
change is having on their livelihoods and their wellbeing. The Fairtrade movement has always fought to support small farmers and workers in their quest to find solutions to the challenges they face. As the climate crisis looms we will continue to do so, and this document outlines how we believe that our founding principles, experience, and the networks we have built up, mean that we are uniquely placed to play a specific role in the global response to climate change.
