Climate change & fair trade: Behind the scenes

The United Nations Climate Change Conference COP26 is happening right now in Glasgow and as you know it is arguably the most important global leaders meeting in our lifetime to date. The future of our planet and its inhabitants is critically endangered and in need of immediate and confident action.

To mark this event and show our support, Rainbow Turtle is hosting an event in Paisley and we would like to invite you to join us. 

During the evening we will be able to hear talks and presentations from a number of guests:

  • Jennifer Sambazi – Fairtrade coffee producer and cooperative leader from Uganda
  • Mauro Pereira – environmentalist, favela educator and part of Brazilian civil society delegation at COP26
  • Tzaritsa Asante – sustainable fashion designer from Scotland.

We would value this opportunity to meet you and share with you our plans for strengthening Renfrewshire’s commitment to fair trade, social justice and climate change action.

There will be a possibility to explore a fair trade stall with a selection of ethical and fairly traded goods and some time to enjoy Fairtrade tea or coffee and some light snacks after the talks.

The event is supported by the Renfrewshire Fairtrade steering group, which supports and promotes fair trade businesses and projects within Renfrewshire.

You can also find out about the event on our Facebook page and you can book your place on Eventbrite.
