When Will Fashion Start to Bend the Curve on Its Carbon Footprint?

Despite a slight decrease in fashion's carbon footprint due to data revisions, the industry is still projected to see emissions rise significantly by 2030. Even large brands' climate pledges haven't translated to measurable change yet. While progress is being made with new technologies and investment funds, the pace is far too slow. The urgency is heightened by extreme weather events impacting garment production, jeopardizing billions in exports. The industry needs a collective push across the entire value chain to achieve substantial emission reductions, but there's a positive side: groundwork has been laid for accelerated action, with growing alignment on using lower-impact materials and potentially stricter regulations.
