Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action is consequence of a long-term international meeting chain, called the COP-Conference of Parties. The COP is an international climate conference that unites the signatory countries (195 countries + the European Union) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) since 1995. The goal of the consecutive meeting chain is to manage the interiorization of the Convention and negotiate new commitments. Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action is prepared and launched by the patronage of UN Climate Change at COP24 in Katowice, Poland, in December 2018 and renewed at COP26 in Glasgow, UK, in November 2021. The stakeholder of the charter is the global fashion stakeholders including textile, apparel and clothing industries with a holistic commitment. The charter contains the vision to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 in line with keeping global warming below 1.5°C from pre-industrial levels defined in the COP 21 of Paris Agreement in 2015. In line with the launched charter, planned tasks of global fashion industry are focused on decarbonisation, reduction of greenhouse gas emission (GHG), renewable electricity utilisation across supply chains, implementation of tools and measures about broadening climate actions. Therefore, the paper is aimed to inform and increase the awareness about current climate actions of global fashion industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
