An evening in Paisley with Fairtrade coffee farmer, environmentalist and favela schools educator and sustainable fashion designer.

About this event

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

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 and favela educator and part of Brazilian civil society delegation at COP26

Tzaritsa Asante - sustainable fashion designer from Scotland

Renfrewshire is a Fairtrade zone and we will love to use this opportunity to show you what it means to people in the countries that are affected by those issues. We believe that by hearing their stories and speaking to them you will be able to understand our passion for fair trade and understand why we feel there is no climate justice without social justice and fair trade.

There will be a possibility to explore a fair trade stall with a selection of ethical 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.
