Say yes to green trade (and no to fossil fuels) Trade has to be fairer and greener. It's that simple. Will you join the campaign for the UK to join the green trade agreement?
Climate change hits the poorest people in the world hardest. And the effects of climaterelated disasters are depriving millions of farmers of secure livelihoods. The UK has do everything it can to stop the climate crisis. But the UK currently spends about £10 billion a year subsidising coal, oil, and gas – the very fuels that threaten our planet. This means taxpayers’ money goes towards making it cheaper to destroy the planet. That has got to stop. The UK has a chance to do the right thing. Now that the UK has left the EU, it can make its own trade deals. And there’s a new trade deal that does all the things we want trade to do.

PRIZE
The UK should join a new green trade agreement created by New Zealand, Norway, Costa Rica, and 3 other countries. This green trade agreement is called ACCTS. Here's what ACCTS does: • stops fossil fuels subsidies • s upports environmentally-friendly trade and businesses • r e-balances trade in favour of greener industries and away from fossil fuels. Trade that supports people and the planet – that's exactly what we're all working for. Take action: Go to traidcraftexchange.org/accts and join the campaign.
