The Fair Climate Network is an international platform that tries to project the local environmental framework on Climate Change, as experienced by the rural poor negatively affected by erratic and unpredictable weather patterns.This view of the changing climate through the prism of their local environment is one among many perfectly valid and legitimate positions. Not just valid, but an extremely powerful engine to sustain a prolonged attention span. It stands tall as an equal with all other frameworks.The FCN is an open and welcoming Network. 120 persons, comprising Development Workers, Climate Change activists, environmentalists, scientists and other professionals from India and abroad have got together to form the Fair Climate Network. They represent 28 Grassroots NGOs who work with the rural poor, and 16 support organizations. 13 Network members participate in their individual capacity.Our purpose is to facilitate and capacitate grassroots bodies to develop pro-poor CDM Projects in India and tap carbon resources for the sustainable development of the poorest of the poor. 33 of us have taken the plunge.
