Pembina Reacts to Canada’s financial support for climate action in developing countries

23 Jun 2010

OTTAWA, ON — Clare Demerse, Associate Director of the Pembina Institute's climate change program, made the following statement in response to today's announcement by Environment Minister Jim Prentice of $400 million in “fast start” climate financing. Under the December 2009 Copenhagen Accord, developed countries agreed to provide US$30 billion in financial support for climate adaptation and emission reductions in developing countries from 2010 to 2012:

“We’re delighted to see the government announce today that it will provide Canada’s fair share of financial support for climate action in poorer countries for 2010.

 

“Providing timely and adequate ‘fast start’ financing is essential to building trust and making progress towards a strong international climate deal, both at this week’s G8 and G20 summits and at the UN talks.

Fair Trade Forum 2007

Description:
From Tanzania to Kenya, from Dominican Republic to Ecuador, fair trade represents for millions of small farmers the only viable opportunity to provide a sustainable and long-term future for their families. It is an ethical form of trade where profit is concentrated in the farmers' hands, organic farming is encouraged and consumers are provided a direct opportunity to make a difference. The Office of the President of the University of Calgary, Centre for Public Interest Accounting, Students' Union, International Centre and Development Studies Club are pleased to sponsor a public forum on "Fair Trade: From production to final markets, a producers' perspective" to examine the progress, priorities and challenges of fair trade producers and their ability to promote human development.
