Europe has been a pioneer and
leader in instituting eco green and fair trade principles and legislation as
part of a greater goal of responsible international development. This extends
from country to country, and from town to town. Bristol, England, is one of the
foremost cities spearheading this movement. It is promoting Fair Trade for
Sustainability as a major expression of its European Green Capital events being
held in the city in the first week of July 2015.
A central feature of Bristol’s
focus on fair trade and its international implications is the International
Fair Trade Towns conference being held on July 4th and 5th.
300 delegates from 18 countries will be participating as speakers, running
workshops or representing the interests of their countries. The intention is to
provide insights and solutions toward fair trade in mainstream marketplaces,
protecting the environment, sustainable food, climate change, fair trade gold
and what are called Sustainable Development Goals.
