A new UN Fashion Charter agreement was revealed at COP26, here's everything you need to know.
There’s no doubt that the sustainability conversation in fashion has come on leaps and bounds in the past three years, with brands racing to announce various eco-minded policies—whether it’s commitments to reaching net zero or the ambition to befound the industry’s emissions are actually set to rise to around 2.7 billion tons a year by 2030, if current measures stay the same, it’s clear there’s a huge amount of work that still needs to be done.
“We realised [the 2018 Fashion Charter] isn’t enough any longer,” Niclas Svenningsen, manager of Global Climate Action at UN Climate Change, said at the Fashion Charter event in Glasgow. “We need to make it stronger, more concrete, more ambitious.” Along with commitments to cut emissions more rapidly, the Charter has also set a new target for 100% of– such as cotton, viscose, polyester, wool and leather – to be low climate impact by 2030. The agreement specifically points to materials that can be recycled in a closed loop, and are deforestation-free, conversion-free and produced using regenerative practices.
Another significant change under the new agreement is the emphasis on brands needing to work with their suppliers to reduce emissions – particularly considering that the majority of emissions come from the supply chain. The new version of the Charter commits to phasing out coal from tier one and tier two suppliers by 2030, including no new coal power by 2023, as well as helping suppliers to implement science-based targets by the end of 2025.
