Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility - FASHION SECTOR
Awareness and Feedback Program for Students of age 14 to 18 years
Introduction:
Clothing is the second basic needs of human being. Till late 19th century, fashion goods were used on 3 seasons to protect the human body from environmental
changes. Due to globalization, income of individual family has increased and lot of free money is available for them. Due to the globalization impact, whole
world become a single entity and it becomes buyers’ market. Today all customers across the country, start purchasing the garments to abreast with the market
demands and changes. Which leads to purchase of more than 12 garments per year compared to 3 to 4 during late 19th century.
In view of the demand, manufacturers and retailers are trying to promote their fashion products to convince the buyers to purchase more. This trend demands
more industrial outputs which leads to depletion of natural resource and also impacting on the environment leading to over abusing of mother earth. Due to the
same, temperature of atmosphere is increasing and which will have greater bearing on mother earth.
This is the right time to think on these issues to protect the environment to save the mother earth. Some of the negative impacts are given below to create awareness
in the young minds to view the changes seriously and convey their opinion to the policy makers and industry leaders. Our aim is to educate young minds to show
the negative impact of fashion and apparel industry on environment and we should be more responsible and demand to save earth to preserve for future generation.

What to Achieve by 2030

One of the challenges fashion faces in reducing its GHG footprint is the likelihood that shifting population and consumption patterns will drive continuing industry
growth. A predicted rise in volumes could push carbon emissions to around 2.7 billion metric tons a year by 2030 if no abatement actions are taken. However, if
the industry continues to embrace decarbonization initiatives at its current pace, it will cap emissions at around 2.1 billion metric tons a year by 2030, roughly
the same as they are today. Yet even with these efforts, emissions would reach almost twice the maximum level that would allow the fashion industry to follow
the 1.5-degree pathway.

To reach the 1.5-degree pathway, the industry would need to intensify its abatement actions and scale up existing decarbonisation efforts to reduce annual
emissions to around 1.1 billion metric tons in 2030, roughly half of today’s figure. Some 60 percent of the additional emission reduction under this accelerated
abatement scenario could be achieved in upstream operations, through initiatives such as energy-efficiency improvements and a transition to renewable energy,
with support from brands and retailers. Another 18 percent of emissions could be saved through operational improvements by fashion brands, and a further 21
percent through changes in consumer behavior. Together, these efforts could reshape the fashion landscape.
