Change trade, not our climate




"Change trade, not our climate" is a publication launched in late 2009 by the Our world is not for sale network. These are videos from a talk hosted by the Trade Justice movement.

In this video Asad Rehman talks about the struggle between those who want 'business as usual' and those who say thats just not possibe anymore. He talks about the economics and politics involved and the issues around the Copenhagen summit. The essence of it is, that changing the way we trade is crucial and basic to reducing the impact of climate change - and thats the issue we have to be dealing with.

The other video's are watchable on the War on Want website, and talk about ethical trading in general. They're quite informative to get an idea of the big political and social issues.
