Climate Action Means Transition – But How Do We Ensure This Transition Is Just?

Climate Action Week for Fashion & Apparel

Global warming is already having negative impacts on companies, workers and communities in countries where a majority of global production currently takes place. And recent analysis indicates that these impacts will continue to grow. But while buyers set targets to reduce their emissions, are they also taking responsibility for the impacts on the people and communities impacted today and those who will be impacted in the future?

Some of the key questions we will cover include:

How is and will global warming impact textile companies and workers, people and communities in the most vulnerable places? How can industry stakeholders ensure that climate action and decarbonization also includes sufficient support for adaptation and a just transition for the people and communities that are currently and will continue to be affected by global warming?

What does a just transition mean in practice – what should companies and other stakeholders being doing actively?

Are current approaches sufficient for addressing climate adaptation, not just mitigation?
