A systems change and an accelerated transition towards a sustainable textile value chain are becoming increasingly necessary. Discussions at multilateral fora, including the United Nations Environment Assembly, bolster the importance of circular economy and just transition in such high-impact sectors as textiles.

In this context, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Belgian Presidency will jointly host the high-level event “Threads of Change: Systemic Transformation of the Textile Sector”. 

 

For more information see here and the website of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the European Union.

This event will offer a unique opportunity to reflect on:

  • Global textile sector priorities and needs that policies can help address, contributing to just transition and international processes
     
  • Global policy solutions to leverage the textile sector to contribute to climate, nature and zero pollution goals and sustainable resource management

It will prompt pivotal inquiries concerning material consumption, microplastics, and circularity in the context of the UNEA resolutions and EU policy discussions on corporate due diligence and other relevant issues.

The conference will be held in English (no translation will be provided).
