FAIRCLIMATE PROGRAM
UNFCCC - COP20
WE BELIEVE THAT GOOD ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIETAL
STEWARDSHIP WILL RESULT IN A DIGNIFIED FAIR WORLD
WHERE POVERTY AND DEGRADATION OF THE EARTH
WILL CEASE TO EXIST
Under this premise FCP and FCF strive to empower local
communities through capacity building programs and energy
efficiency and REDD+ projects. In order to create real impact
we support civil society organizations locally and through our
carbon fund management by FCF, we create awareness among
the private sector on climate change and encourage them to be
climate leaders by reducing and offsetting their CO2 emissions
with fair traded offsets.
OUR PARTICIPATION IN COP20
Our agenda for COP20 is to promote the fairness in addressing
Climate Change and we ask others to join us. Our main focus is on
how we can empower the people most affected by climate change
and give them access to climate finance that is fair and equitable,
and will improve their livelihoods. Together with local partners
we offer solutions on climate neutral value chains, low carbon
farming, avoided deforestation (REDD+), energy efficiency in
cooking such as clean cookstoves and biogas, and protecting the
rights of indigenous and forest communities. To achieve this we
work with the private sector, institutional funding, civil society
and the communities and smallholders themselves. We take into
account a landscape approach on interventions, local ownership
and sharing benefits.
SIDE EVENT THAT WE ORGANIZE
Wednesday
Dec - 3
FAIRTRADE CARBON NEUTRAL COFFEE;
HOW SMALLHOLDERS AND COMMUNITIES BENEFIT FROM FAIR CARBON FINANCE
How carbon markets work for communities, through value chains, by including the private sector. A panel discusses the
Fairtrade scheme and how Ethiopian coffee farmers and coffee consumers are linked. How will communities benefit? Can
this approach work for other chains or scopes like REDD+?
SPEAKERS: ICCO-international, Fairtrade International, FairClimateFund, HoAREC, Gold Standard.
TIME: 16.45-18.15 (Room: Maranga)

through fair and holistic payments for goods and services it provides. FSC, Fairtrade, Gold Standard work towards this
vision with support of HIVOS, FairClimateFund and others.
