Regenerating nature systems is the crucial final step in creating a truly circular economy. While decarbonization has led sustainability efforts, nature is climbing up the agenda. Nature-based action can contribute up to a third of the cost-effective climate mitigation needed by 2030 (Nature4Climate).When we deliver on biodiversity, we deliver on climate. And crucially, we can also deliver on circularity and human rights by building planetary resilience.
This session will explore how the fashion industry can adopt “nature-positive principles” to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. We’ll discuss:
- Standardizing impact measurement: As brands pilot Science-Based Targets for nature (SBTis), how can we standardize biodiversity impact metrics? What realistic KPIs and tools are available to monitor, verify, and scale these efforts?
- Stakeholder engagement: Strategies for multinational brands to collaborate with diverse supply chain actors, ensuring meaningful on-the-ground ecological impact.
- Food industry learnings: Insights into successful nature-positive strategies and how these can be adapted to fashion supply chains.
