READERS’ CHARTER
of tackling the climate crisis and share the reality of their struggles. Our global trading system is balanced in favour of the powerful few.
Trapped in this system, farmers already struggle to meet their immediate needs. More than ever, they need a fair price for their crops and their hard work.
Fairtrade works to raise the voices of farmers and workers and prioritise what they need to respond to the environmental crises unfolding in already vulnerable communities.
This fortnight, we are asking people to ‘Choose the World You Want’ and use your voice to tell others about the challenges that farmers face from climate change.
Due to lockdown this year the steering group won’t be able to promote Fairtrade Fortnight locally in the normal way but there will be an online festival bringing together schools, universities, businesses, supporters, campaigners and farmers from across the world to choose the world they want.
Why not book your place at https://www.fairtrade. org.uk/get-involved/currentcampaigns/fairtradefortnight?
