Sustainable Apparel and Textiles Conference: Europe

21st - 22nd April 2027

Amsterdam, Netherlands

AI won’t be stopped, but can it be steered? Where AI could cut apparel’s emissions and where it adds to them

Breakout
Back to agenda

Fashion brands are adopting AI across their operations, including to meet climate goals, and adoption is moving faster than the rules to govern it. Research in Climate Action finds that AI tends to amplify existing patterns of activity, and that emissions only fall if its efficiency gains in renewables outpace those in fossil fuels four to five times over. This panel brings brands and suppliers together to share the AI use cases already cutting emissions in apparel and how AI can be a tool to reform the industry, rather than accelerate the status quo. Speakers will set out the safeguards that keep data reliable and people involved in decisions, so efficiency gains don’t drive up volumes.
