Climate Champions

We’re in a Race.

A race against time and against ourselves. Against the dangerous idea that we can’t do this, that there is no way.

Unlike most races, it won’t have one winner. In this race we all win, or we all lose. Winning it requires a radical, unprecedented level of collaboration, from all corners of our world. From our cities, businesses, regions and investors. From people everywhere.

Together we’re racing for a better world. A zero carbon and resilient world. A healthier, safer, fairer world. A world of wellbeing, abundance and joy, where the air is fresher, our jobs are well-paid and dignified, and our future is clear.

To get there we need to run fast, and get faster. We need more and more people to join the race, and right now. This is not about 2050, it’s about today.

Together, we can do this.
And we’re already on our way.

Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action

By Charlotte Owen-Burge | July 8, 2021

The Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action is convened by the UNFCCC, and brings together 111 companies and 43 industry associations, NGOs and standard setting organisations to work on decarbonisation pathway for the sector.

The Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action requires companies to either set SBT aligned with 1.5 degrees or adopt 50% by 2030 and net zero by 2050. Member progress is tracked via CDP. Companies are requested to follow Race to Zero criteria which are included in the Charter commitments, and technical working groups support action pathways across the supply chain.

As of November 2022, the Charter has 111 members in the Race to Zero.
