“The fashion industry has timidly approached circularity, individually investing in, exploring, and executing relatively small-volume plans, rather than establishing formal collaborations aimed at bringing meaningful levels of scale.”—Yuly Fuentes-Medel @ValueofScience @MIT (6/9)

Congrats to the 17 countries committed to investing in solutions to a crisis inherently linked to climate change & equally devastating: biodiversity loss. Let’s call for more governments at #COP27 to join the #10PointPlan to prioritize climate AND biodiversity. (📷: @robindmoore)

As we welcome the 8 billionth member of our human family, we must think ahead.
By 2050, the world’s population will be approaching 10 billion.
Action – or inaction – by the G20 will determine whether everyone can live sustainably & peacefully on a healthy planet.

#ClimateChange and biodiversity loss are interconnected.
And interconnected crises need interconnected solutions.
We are at #COP27 working to put nature and climate at the core of development #ForPeopleForPlanet 🤝 🌿

Young people, like the ones I met at #COP27 today, have been relentless in demanding #ClimateAction.
The world owes them an enormous debt.
I am grateful for their persistence & courage - and I am proud to stand with them.

The average person in some parts of the world is buying 60% more clothing now than 15 years ago but keeping items for 1/2 as long.
Rethinking your fashion purchases can help lower the industry's global carbon emissions & reduce your impact on the planet. unep.org/news-and-stories/st…

Last month, Australia passed a law to cut emissions 43% by 2030. Now, the Aussie state with one of the most carbon intensive energy supplies in the world has made a plan to completely move away from coal. We need to see action like this around the world! theguardian.com/australia-ne…
