The Problem
Fashion’s Fossil Fuel Addiction
The fashion sector must cut carbon emissions and adopt a just energy transition. However, harmful carbon-intensive practices persist, needing action from major fashion brands. Despite years of voluntary commitments and industry-led initiatives, the sector shows an alarming lack of progress and leadership. According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), unless coal is phased out and global greenhouse gas emissions are halved by 2030, the world will not stay below a 1.5°C global average temperature rise. Yet, fashion brands’ emissions increased in 2021/2022 after a temporary dip due to the global pandemic.
