This document discusses the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that may replace the MDGs after their 2015 deadline. It provides an update on progress toward achieving the MDGs and outlines some suggested objectives for the SDGs, focusing on development topics like poverty, education, health, environment, and inequality. The document also discusses how fair trade practices can help support achievement of both the existing MDGs and future SDGs through increased incomes, premium funds for community projects, and environmental protection standards. It invites input on a citizens' petition and declaration from Polish fair trade towns to demonstrate local impact and commitment to the goals.

17. How Fair Trade can affect the
achievement of MDGs and SDGs?
We believe that Fair Trade can contribute to the
achievement of the MDGs and SDGs in a variety of ways.
The increased income levels and income security, thanks to
Fair Trade, help to ensure that producers are less
vulnerable to fluctuations in food prices.

18. Fair Trade contributes toward the
MDGs and SDGs in several ways:
• The Fair Trade Minimum Price, which
serves as a safety net for the producers
when market prices fall below levels of
sustainable production, can be critical in
keeping producers out of poverty.
• The Fair Trade Premium is used by
producers and their communities to fund
projects for social, economic and
environmental development.

19. Fair Trade contributes toward the
MDGs and SDGs in several ways:
• Fair Trade Standards ensure environmental protection,
which is an important aspect because:
By the end of 2030 almost 60% of the world population
will be living in the urban areas - it is crucial that they get
sustained in a sustainable
way.
• Fair Trade cities
as Sustainable Cities
