We play an important role in supporting politicians, the media and other civil society organisations in developing their understanding of and ability to engage in trade debates.

• Establish effective, regular communications with member and partner organisations.
• Maintain TJM’s web content on this issue.

Convening Civil Society Organisations

• Provide opportunities for civil society organisations to collaborate and advocate in this area, including through regular meetings, joint letters and engagement with civil service departments. 
• Organise a number of seminars and briefing meetings for TJM members to build civil society capacity on trade and climate change.
• Work with the Senior Adviser to engage with existing climate change forums.
