Just 70% of French brand members of Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode have a public emissions reduction target. Ahead of Paris Fashion Week, we are calling for this to change. Home to the Paris Agreement, the French fashion industry has a responsibility to ensure its production aligns with a liveable future. Transparency and accountability is essential to positive progress, so these targets also need to be public. The best ways to reduce emissions? Shift beyond animal-derived and fossil fuel based materials, slow down production in line with planetary boundaries, and decarbonise the fashion supply chain's energy sources.

Knowing the benefits of shifting beyond animal-derived materials is one thing. But how do you actually introduce next-gen, animal-free materials to consumers effectively? That's exactly what our new resource for the fashion industry, made in collaboration with FOUR PAWS, explores. We know that there are legislative, climate, biodiversity and animal protection benefits to shifting beyond animal-derived materials. We know that citizen consumers are increasingly asking brands to protect animals and choose responsible materials free from their exploitation and slaughter. It is time for fashion brands to publicly commit to phase out periods for animal-derived materials. We invite brands to explore our transition guide, which looks at Napapijri's move beyond fur followed by down, GANNI's move past virgin animal-derived leather, and Chloé's phase out of wild animal skins. And if you're feeling bold, tag a brand you think needs to take a look! Explore the guide and our other resources: https://lnkd.in/eGRyrKcb Join our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/d3euDtRQ

If you are a fashion educator, we want to hear from you. Alongside IE New York College and with the support of Swinburne University of Technology we are developing the Responsible Fashion Education Index. Inspired by the value of Fashion Revolution's Fashion Transparency Index (tracking how brands report on their impact), we plan to increase transparency regarding how fashion education institutions incorporate teachings about fashion's impact on people, animals and the planet into their fashion design courses. Students deserve to know which schools will best ready them for the future of the fashion industry: one which prioritises continued life over endless profit. Our founder Emma Hakansson and expert on responsible fashion education, Michelle Gabriel are leading this work. Our data review is ongoing, but will be complimented by the insights of fashion educators. We understand that sometimes, a course outline may have minimal sustainability and ethics education, but those teaching the course make a conscious effort to incorporate these teachings themselves. We hope this questionnaire will make these efforts clear in our Index, when curriculum outlines themselves show less relevant education. Please share it widely! https://lnkd.in/gXhgsVFT

Collective Fashion Justice produced new learning resources about methane emissions, now included in this Carbon Literacy Training for Fashion and Retail. We were very glad to work with Safia Minney, MBE FRSA and Fashion Declares to include this, as methane is far more potent than carbon in the short-term, but also shorter lived in the atmosphere. This means curbing methane emissions is a highly effective way to reduce global temperatures quickly. Animal-derived materials from ruminant species, the degrading of textiles in landfills, and methane from oil extraction for synthetics are all serious issues to move beyond. We encourage fashion industry members to take this training!
