The key challenges for nature

Pollution occurs at each stage of a fashion product’s lifecycle, posing a threat to biodiversity.

Heavy water use and deforestation are among fashion’s contribution to over-exploitation.

Fashion’s demand for raw materials has a major hidden cost: the loss of wild animals and plants.

The fashion sector is a significant contributor to climate change, which impacts significantly on nature and biodiversity.

The transport of raw materials and finished goods can help spread invasive species which threaten local ecosystems.
