One of the most pressing issues of this generation is the crisis surrounding climate change.

Back in the autumn of 2021, some of the world’s biggest leaders were gathering in Glasgow for COP26. Watching the results of their discussions alongside the rest of the world was the Fairtrade Movement.

Although it may not seem to be one of the most obvious links to Fairtrade, climate justice is very much connected to the plight of farmers and producers in the developing world.

The unfair truth is that it is the low-income countries that are hit the hardest by climate change. Thanks to increasingly extreme and unpredictable weather, farmers in developing countries are not only battling against destructive droughts or devasting floods limiting their overall harvest, but are also struggling against being unjustly underpaid for the goods they do produce. 

It leaves many farmers and workers in a desperate situation.
