Trade Campaigning

World trade rules are hurting the poor. Despite the enormous wealth of the global economy, more than half the world´s people still live on less than two dollars a day. International trade should be helping — but it isn´t. Instead unjust trade rules are keeping the poor locked in poverty.

Fairtrade

People & Planet’s Fairtrade campaign aims to:

• Guarantee more producers and workers basic rights
• Ensure a commitment to fair trade principles within the UK´s schools, colleges and universities
• Influence wider policy and behaviour so that trade works for all

Redress Fashion

The Redress Fashion campaign focuses on what we can do as students to support the struggles of garment workers worldwide.

• Following on from actions against Primark last year, we’ll be targeting Topshop on the high street, demanding that it takes the basic step of joining the Ethical Trading Initiative.
• On our campuses, we will be campaigning to ensure that our university and college merchandise is sweatshop-free.

HIV/AIDS Campaigning

Treat AIDS Now campaign

People & Planet´s Treat AIDS Now campaign is urging the UK Government to:

• Make universal treatment by 2010 a reality.
• Support the manufacture and supply of generic AIDS drugs in developing countries, as this is the cheapest and most efficient long-term solution
• Provide substantial and sustainable financing for AIDS treatment as even the cheapest drugs are too expensive for poor people and poor countries to afford

Climate Change Campaigning

Climate change is happening now, and its effects will be felt by all of us.

Wealthy nations like Britain are responsible for producing 80% of the greenhouse gases which drive climate change. The ever increasing impacts are global, threatening the lives and livelihoods of millions. Most at risk will be many of the world’s most vulnerable people in developing countries.

For detailed background information about the key issues, see our about climate change pages.

Ditch Dirty Development

This radical campaign aims to switch funding for oil and gas to renewable sources of energy. Find out more about the issues and how to take action

Go Green

Britain’s universities have a huge environmental impact - one which could and should be massively reduced. Let’s make our universities Go Green.

Stop Climate Chaos

People & Planet is part of a huge new climate change coalition aiming to Stop Climate Chaos.
