Ten things you should know about Trade and Climate Change

As the G7 meet in Cornwall, the Trade Justice Movement (TJM), has joined more than 10 other organisations ranging from unions, civil society and aid organisations, to urge them to ensure the trade system works for the climate. The group highlight “Ten things you should know about Trade and Climate Change”, drawing on earlier research by TJM.

This new publication shows the links between trade and climate change in 10 short bullet points. It shows how trade can play a role in helping the UK reach its climate targets, but only if it rethinks its approach to trade.

The organisations that support the call for trade to support climate action include the Trade Justice Movement, Fair Trade Wales, Cafod, Compassion in World Farming, Friends of the Earth, Global Justice Now, Greenpeace, Public and Commercial Services Union, Sustain, Traidcraft Exchange, Unison and War on Want.
