Cotton, grown in over 100 countries, is central to global trade and provides livelihoods for millions, especially in developing regions. However, the cotton-to-clothing value chain has a substantial environmental impact, by generating GHG emissions and relying heavily on non-renewable resources. This event will highlight how innovative technologies, models and policies can help decarbonize this sector and build resilience to climate change, aligning with initiatives like the Fashion Industry Charter. It will also showcase the “Cotton Partnership,” a multi-stakeholder effort designed to unlock the potential of sustainable cotton in C4+ countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, and Mali) and success stories from Azerbaijan and Pakistan in the cotton sector.
