The state of sustainable fashion: Can we meet our original goals amid global volatility?

Fashion’s environmental footprint is undeniable. While momentum around climate commitments has grown in recent years, progress appears to be stalling. Regulations are rolling back and of the 250 largest fashion brands, fewer than half have disclosed Science-Based Targets across their full value chain, and only 6% reveal how they engage stakeholders in their climate strategies (Fashion Revolution).

 

This raises critical questions: Are current climate strategies resilient to regulatory and market shifts? What are the risks of inaction, and where do the biggest opportunities lie?

 

As we begin this forum, we’ll assess existing strategies, define a just transition in a business context, and outline actionable steps for long-term success.
