Everlane’s Post

One of my fave panels from the Sustainable Fashion Forum was on 'relationship goals' and featured key insights from Katina Boutis from Everlane. It's such a reoccurring issue in the industry to consider if equitable relationships in the fashion industry can truly exist; considering the inherent challenges. I love that Everlane tackles this head-on, normalising naming and celebrating manufacturers to set a precedence with radical transparency - this impact report came out yesterday, which if you weren't aware was Earth Day (!) and I highly suggest giving it a read for some ways in which they are addressing these complex issues. #sustainablefashion #responsiblemanufacturing #suppliers

Imagine your house is on fire. The kitchen and living room are entirely gone. And the people responsible for starting the fire tell you not to worry, that by 2050, the firefighters will arrive. This is precisely how I read these meaningless pledges validated by the SBTi. We have known for years that the window to stay below 1.5C was most likely gone. All IPCC scenarios in the AR6, under which we stayed below that cap, show we needed a peak in CO2e emissions before 2020. I wrote about it here: https://lnkd.in/dZ6UKPiP Then, almost a year ago, an update on the remaining carbon budget to stay under 1.5C came to light, informing us half of the budget from 2019 was gone. Meaning less likelihood to reach the climate target. I also shared the scientific study here: https://lnkd.in/dUBqwewg With 2023 being 1.48C above preindustrial levels according to the latest data from Copernicus ECMWF and with a likelihood of 32% that the five-year global mean temperature will surpass the 1.5°C threshold, as per the World Meteorological Organisation, it is more evident than ever that we are at a tipping moment in history, already transgressing the most ambitious of the #parisagreement goals. That means we need to move the global goal net zero date for CO2 from around 2050 to about 2035, as already explained last year by climate scientists: https://lnkd.in/dvbazP2U But no one wants to talk about this. Organizations are in denial, and the SBTi actively supports a meaningless narrative of reaching #netzero2050 to stay under 1.5C. It is as if the “Science Based Target initiative” was not following the science… Moreover, if you or I dare to point at these facts, many will call us climate doomers. Since when pointing at the scientific evidence, calling for recognizing our failures and reshaping our climate goals to fit the new reality is being pessimistic? For how much longer are we going to allow organizations to sell us the idea everything will be fine in 25 years when our common home is already on fire, and the lives of millions are at stake? We need more ambitious goals and commitments that reflect the urgency created by the #planetarycrisis we face, and the sooner, the better. #climatechange #parisagreement #climatechangemitigation #netzero #ghgemissions

🌱 Exciting News! 🌱 Taking real action on reducing emissions is more crucial than ever, and Science-based Targets (SBTs) are emerging as a powerful indicator of a company's commitment to sustainability. 🌍✨ Watch below how more and more companies are signing up and becoming part of the solution. SBTs are strategic goals meticulously crafted by companies to sync their efforts in slashing greenhouse gas emissions with cutting-edge climate science. 📈🔬 Aligned with the ambitious objectives of the Paris Agreement, these targets aim to cap global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, striving even further to limit it to 1.5 degrees Celsius. 🌡️🌿 By embracing SBTs, organizations not only demonstrate their dedication to combating climate change but also position themselves as leaders in sustainable business practices. 🚀 Let's continue to champion science-based approaches and pave the way towards a greener, more resilient future together! 💪💚 #Sustainability #ClimateAction #SBTs #ParisAgreement #GreenFuture
