The Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) and the Apparel Impact Institute (AII) have unveiled a strategic partnership aimed at intensifying and expanding decarbonisation initiatives in the apparel industry.
The urgency to tackle climate change, as underscored by the recent IPCC report, necessitates immediate action. To meet the crucial 1.5°C target, emissions must be reduced by a minimum of 43% by 2030 and 60% by 2035. Collaborating on research, finance, impact target setting, action plans, and industry engagement, the SAC and AII will work together to help achieve these ambitious reduction goals.
Their initial thrust will concentrate on advancing the Climate Solutions Portfolio and Fashion Climate Fund, which will effectively address carbon emissions across the apparel supply chain. By combining their efforts, the SAC and AII aspire to attain a noteworthy 45% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
This partnership reflects their commitment to a sustainable and responsible textile and apparel industry, relying on a comprehensive approach to create lasting change.
