Together we can make a difference to climate change
The world is facing a climate crisis – it is affecting the foods we love and the communities who produce them.
But by choosing Fairtrade, you can support producers on the frontline of the climate crisis and help to protect the future of our food.

Climate Justice
The climate crisis is the biggest threat to the livelihoods of millions of small-scale farmers and agricultural workers in low-income countries who grow the foods we need and love. Changing weather patterns and the emergence of pests and diseases are devasting crops and putting livelihoods at risk.
Fairtrade supports producers by providing them with training and better incomes to adapt to climate challenges. By choosing Fairtrade, you can support producers on the frontline of the climate crisis and protect the future of our food.
It is important that we support producers we source from in the transition to fairer and more resilient supply chains. Fairtrade producers have told us that climate change is the biggest threat to their livelihoods. That’s why they must be at the centre of decision making. Our Co-op vision, ‘Co-operating for a Fairer World’, recognises that we are stronger and more effective when we work together. To create real, impactful change, we need to co-operate to protect our most vulnerable communities against climate change.
“What I am afraid of is where we are going to be in five to ten years if we do not do anything about climate change. There is drought, flooding, low yields and infestation of pests and diseases and if the farm produce does not do well, there’s going to be scarcity of food.”
Mary Warau, Fairtrade Flower Worker at Rainforest Farmlands Kenya Limited.
