A new report from McKinsey &amp; Company crunched the numbers and found that the global industry\u2019s current trajectory isn\u2019t sustainable. The report, \u201cFashion on Climate: How the Fashion Industry Can Urgently Act to Reduce Its Greenhouse Gas Emissions,\u201d authored by McKinsey in partnership with the Global Fashion Agenda, showed that \u201cthe global fashion industry produced around 2.1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2018, equaling 4% of the global total.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe immediate focus of accelerated abatement should be upstream operations, where around 60% of emissions savings are possible, in particular from increased use of renewable energy, through collaborative efforts supported by brands and retailers,\u201d the report authors advised. \u201cActions relating to brands\u2019 own operations have the potential to deliver around 20% of the reduction, with the remainder coming from changes in consumer behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Concerted action from industry participants is needed in three key areas, the report says:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reducing emissions from upstream operations.<\/li>\n<li>Reducing emissions from brands\u2019 own operations.<\/li>\n<li>Encouraging sustainable consumer behavior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cGiven their potential to act as the main drivers of accelerated abatement, brands and retailers face a call to collaborate with others in the value chain to invest for long-term social and environmental benefits,\u201d the authors say. \u201cNot only can they effect change in their own operations, but they can also support decarbonization efforts elsewhere in the industry and help consumers make more sustainable purchasing choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentalleader.com\/2020\/08\/report-fashion-industry-drastic-changes\/\">Environmental Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If fashion industry leaders actually want to mitigate climate change, they need to overhaul their sector.
