Current campaigns

• Climate change
  Climate change is already having a devastating impact on people’s lives, and poor communities in developing countries are being hit first and worst. We're pushing to make sure our world leaders know that it is crucial that they agree to a FAB – Fair, Ambitious and legally Binding – climate treaty before the end of 2011.
• Make Trade Fair
  Join our call to governments, institutions and multinational companies to put an end unfair trade rules that force millions of people around the world to live in poverty.
• Fairtrade
  Use your consumer power to make sure poor producers share in the benefits of international trade.
• Control Arms
  The arms trade fuels conflict, poverty and human rights abuses worldwide. The Control Arms campaign is asking governments to toughen up controls on the arms trade.
