Communication change must be a driving force in the fashion sector’s climate response if it is to contribute to the goals of the Paris Agreement, according to a consultation led by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). The work has resulted in a high-level communication commitment included in the renewed Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action (Fashion Charter), convened by UN Climate Change (UNFCCC) announced today at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26). The fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to the climate and ecological crisis,responsible for between 2-8% of global carbon emissions. What’s more, on its current trajectory, it is expected to miss the 2030 emissions reduction targets by 50%.
