Why decarbonisation has become the latest buzzword

As decarbonisation becomes essential for a sustainable future, the fashion industry is taking steps to reduce carbon emissions, with global brands and organizations leading the way. The textile and clothing industry has developed a bit of a reputation for its environmental footprint. The industry's entire supply chain, from raw material production to manufacturing, transportation and disposal, is closely linked to processes that emit high levels of carbon. This led to an alarming prediction that according to data from earth.org global emissions of the fashion industry will increase by 50 % by 2030. Long criticized for its unsustainable practices and carbon footprint, there is an urgent push to decarbonise across the industry to reverse the trend. (Isatou Ndure)
