Good news: think tank and policy consultancy, Fashion Roundtable, has listed five ways the fashion industry can reform<\/a> its business practices to be more sustainable. They laid out the five action items in an open letter, addressing the world leaders at the COP26 Conference in Glasgow. COP26 stands for the Conference of the Parties, which brings governments and policymakers together for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The conference centres around addressing the critical concerns regarding climate change with awareness, solutions, and actions. The Fashion Roundtable used this opportunity to include the fashion industry in the climate change discourse with the backing of eco-conscious companies, like\u00a0<\/span>Eco-Age<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>the Centre for Sustainable Fashion<\/span><\/a>, and\u00a0<\/span>The Sustainable Angle<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In their open letter, the Fashion Roundtable notes how \u201cany policy agenda which addresses these issues [regarding sustainability], must look at the fashion industry, which if it was a nation state would rank as the 7th largest economy.\u201d That figure denotes a responsibility to not only the global economy, but also human welfare and the environment. Fashion Roundtable aims to encourage leaders to enact a holistic approach to sustainable policymaking that incorporates those three factors in their five recommendations. We\u2019re going to break down each one to understand what these recommendations look like within the context of the fashion industry<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
