IN THE INDUSTRY

Many of those with the most leverage to accelerate progress on climate action sit in this room, as decision-makers within global organizations. To kick off the conference, we’ll get to grips with the industry’s responsibility in taking the lead. How can we create systems that hold core decision-makers accountable?  What targets is science telling us we must meet, and what tools do we have at our disposal to help us get there? It’s about coming together, listening to the diversity of industry-wide experiences, and aligning around resources and programs that enable us to collectively change the system.

ON THE GROUND

Day two’s agenda is grounded in another fundamental truth: while global brands and industry players often have the power and the financial potential to drive change, most of the real, tangible action happens on the ground – by farmers, forest managers, waste collectors, and other raw material producers. Hypothetical solutions hold no weight in isolation. That’s why the second day of the conference aims to elevate the voices of rightsholders, acknowledging that those most impacted by the problems hold critical insights to shape the solutions.

IN PROGRESS

The third day is a space for accelerating action going forward. Together, we will look at how to shape a system that will facilitate the solutions and ideas discussed so far. What does rethinking growth really look like in practice? Are innovative materials the answer; what about scaling textile to textile recycling – have we made any progress? And now governments and policymakers have started to listen, what do we need to start doing to meet upcoming regulations?

IN THE FIELD

The last day of our conference is dedicated to optional field trips – a unique opportunity to get to the source of material production and meet with farmers and producers working in this space. To fully go from theory to practice, we’ve got to get out and see what’s really happening in the field. It’s about going back to the start of the supply chain, building an understanding of where raw materials come from and how they impact communities and ecosystems on the ground.
