Fashion and Clean Water Nexus

Hosted by fashion environmentalist Runa Ray, this event will touch upon various facets of the fashion industry, which is responsible for 20% of the global waste water and pollution of our oceans. 

The fashion industry stakeholders have a role to play in reducing climate emissions resulting from their operations, with an awareness that the majority of climate impact within the industry lies in manufacturing of products and materials as well as educating end users about the environmental impacts of fashion and the importance of their action towards climate change mitigation. 

Responding to climate change requires action on both mitigation and adaptation, with special regards to those that are most vulnerable.
