COP26 is an exciting and timely opportunity for the world's leaders to unite for the first time since the pandemic and reflect upon the impacts humanity is having on the earth's finite resources and population, with solutions on how we can address these issues in the short amount of time we have to resolve the climate crisis. Any policy agenda which addresses these issues, must look at the fashion industry, which if it was a nation state would rank as the 7th largest economy.

Fashion Roundtable, Fashion Revolution, Centre for Sustainable Fashion, Common Objective, Eco-Age, and The Sustainable Angle, along with leading fashion brands and fashion sustainability advocates unite with a call to action for COP26, to stress the urgent need for the world’s leaders to recognise the impactful role fashion can play in reaching net zero and climate goals.
