It was quite the weekend in Brussels for WFTO-Europe, where we participated in the 19th International Fair Trade Towns Campaign! 🇧🇪

We kicked off with a big focus on stronger sustainability and Fair Trade criteria in public procurement. Huge thanks to Belgian MEP Saskia Bricmont for her support of our G2FTF project. She’s now the proud owner of a Wear Your Values scarf!🧣

Our member ETHIQUABLE welcomed us at their chocolate factory in Namur to show how they do business differently. As a worker-owned cooperative, they trade directly with producers and add value locally wherever possible, so more of it stays with producers and their communities. 🍫

WFTO President Sophie Tack of Oxfam Magasins du Monde closed the conference on the final day. 🎤

It was wonderful to see so many familiar and new faces, especially the young volunteers who joined from Belgium, Italy, Germany, Scotland, and beyond. 🌍

As always, the inspiring and engaging conversations have us already looking forward to picking up where we left off in Cologne in September 2027! 🇩🇪

Slow Fashion Sunday: a direct counter to the logics of the Fast Fashion Industry. 🌻

Our Project & Advocacy Officer Elena Sbaragli attended this event, organized as part of the Fashion Revolution week.

The fashion industry needs to become clean, safe, fair, transparent and accountable. By promoting brands that take responsibility and by encouraging slow fashion and slow communications, we counter the problematic logic of the fast fashion industry, where profits are maximized at the expense of human rights and the environment.🚶‍♂️🌏

, .magazine, .magazine, .threads: Thank you for the inspiration and for hosting this moment of community! ❤️✨

Resilience.

The term was mentioned at least 40 times throughout the Conference. By the end of the day, it started to feel both everywhere and, at times, slightly undefined.

So what does mean for environmental policy that contributes to a just transition? And what role does play?

🔷 Teresa Ribera opened by highlighting the choice between short-term benefits and long-term prosperity. She positioned resilience as central to the political narrative and referred to Janez Potočnik’s work on the circular economy. Potočnik stressed that we are at a crossroads. His message is that we must manage scarcity through governance grounded in hope and a clear compass.

🔷 Combining the insights from Séverine Hermand and Martin Špolc, resilience requires a deep understanding of risks and building capacity to absorb impacts when they occur. But resilience is not only about absorbing shocks, it is also about defining who is expected to absorb them and how.

🔷A Just Transition toward a resilient model then requires a particular view on trade. The EU should not view trade as selectively collecting or extracting what it needs from other parts of the world. Instead, as highlighted by Virginia Enssle, we need to move toward partnerships. Fair Trade does precisely that. By centering relationships with people and the environment, and making decisions based on dialogue and data, it supports building the capacity of producers and communities to respond to change.

Trade can build capacity and thereby contribute toward resilience. Practically, this means that in times of crisis, there are reserves to build on. And that when shocks occur, we have already taken measures to deal with this in the direct environment. 💡

What I take away from this is that resilience is not a neutral concept. Improving resilience in a meaningful way requires that risks are distributed fairly across trade systems and that measures are devised to target risks.

Thank you to the speakers for their contributions and the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) and the Cyprus Presidency for hosting this inspiring event! 🪴
