Climate action is deciding votes.

New research shows half of under-34s would be more likely to vote for a government that delivers on climate commitments.

It’s time for action that’s fair for people AND the planet.

The people who grow our tea are facing the bitter reality of climate change -with lower yields, harsher conditions, and rising poverty 🫖

❌ Myth: Every tea farmer in Kenya earns a fair wage
✅ Truth: Only 1 in 5 Kenyan tea farmers make enough to support their families

Many struggle with low wages, harsh working conditions and the impact of climate change 🍃
