Autumn has arrived and brings with it some time to reflect on this summers’ truly alarming climate catastrophes. These climate disasters, along with the stark warnings of the recent IPPC report, leave no room for interpretation. The climate crisis is undeniably upon us.
Fairtrade producers have told us that climate change is the biggest threat to their livelihoods. We also know that farmers need to earn a decent income in order to build resilience to the changing climate and to farm more sustainably.
In the run up to the vital COP26 Summit (31 Oct – 12 Nov), Fairtrade farmers and workers around the world are coming together to ask for climate justice. Farmers are at the centre of a crisis they have done the least to cause. They should not bear the cost of adaptation and working towards Net Zero. Producers are asking world leaders for climate investment and regulations ensuring businesses take responsibility for their supply chain (e.g. HREDD).
