SUMMARY:Natural Fibre Connect Online Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:Natural Fibre Connect Online Conference 2022 \nNatural Fibre Connect is an onlineВ conference taking place on 7-9 September 2022В for the alpaca\, cashmere\, mohair\, and wool industries. \nAs the effects of climate change and market fluctuations continue to grow\, it is more important than ever before to understand the impact on growers and herders at the beginning of our supply chains — their prosperity is vital for safeguarding the future of the sector and making real progress towards our sustainability goals.В The virtual event will cover trends\, challenges\, and innovations withinВ the four industriesВ and how they are impacting growers and herders around the world. In turn\, we will look at how the growers and herders themselves are shaping the future of the sector. \nThe event will welcome overВ 1000+В guests from around the world\, including growers\, processors\, brokers\, manufacturers\, brands\, NGOs\, and government stakeholders invested in the natural fibres sector. As the name of the conference suggests\, the focus will be to connect all actors of the supply chain\, exchange knowledge and insights and work together toward reaching the Sustainable Development Goals. \nThe 3 live days are filled with expert speakers\, recorded talks\, and roundtable discussions aimed at tackling the common challenges of the alpaca\, cashmere\, mohair\, and wool industries. \nAttendees will benefit from plenty of networking opportunities including access to the virtual exhibition hall where they can connect with fibre supply chain companies\, NGOs\, and government organisations invested in making the natural fibre industries more sustainable. \nTopics discussed during the three-day conference will be: \n\nLife Cycle Assessment for natural fibres\nThe realities of animal welfare – challenges growersВ and herdersВ face\nPutting social welfare on the agenda – getting natural fibres to be recognised as the engine of rural economies\nHow to unlock regenerative agriculture for arid regions\nHow traceability is reshaping the industry – and our lives\nHow green finance can support growers and herders\nThe opportunities for web 3.0 for the textile industry\n\nThe event platform is available in English\, Spanish\, and Chinese.

SUMMARY:Circular By Design: How Apparel Brands Can Make Informed Choices
DESCRIPTION:All materials have impacts. Whether it be fossil fuel inputs\, land and chemical use\, or human rights issues\, brands are keen to show verifiable\, data-driven improvements in their sourcing choices. There are emerging solutions\, and materials with lower impact coming on the market at scale today. Presently\, we need a more honest conversation about the factors driving brand choices\, and the circular solutions that exist in the global market place. \nIn this discussion\, we’ll consider the following points: \n• Why choice and design matter so much\, in terms of choosing the right materials to lower brand and supply chain impact fastest.\n• How brands can make the right impact-driven choices to separate true circular from recycling.\n• How sourcing companies can communicate with apparel designers around the true impact of material choices.\n• Can communicating a full production narrative showing real\, verifiable impact enable greener customer choices? \nHear from our panel: \n• Lucita Jasmin\, director of sustainability and external affairs\, APRIL\n• Sarah Hayes\, sustainability business expert circularity\, H&M\n• Megan Stoneburner\, director of materials\, Textile Exchange \nThe discussion will be moderated by Toby Webb\, founder of Innovation Forum. \n2pm BST / 3pm CET

SUMMARY:Webinar: Evaluating & Monitoring Challenges at the Farm Level of the Bovine Leather Supply Chain - Part 3 : Climate+ Baseline & Strategy for Leather
DESCRIPTION:Textile Exchange has set the goal to help the fashion and textile industry achieve a 45% reduction in the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that come from producing fibers and raw materials by 2030. This goal underpins our Climate+ strategy. We call it Climate+ because it goes beyond accounting for GHG emissions. Instead\, it is an interconnected approach that swaps siloed solutions for interdependent impact areas like soil health\, water\, and biodiversity. \nIn parts 1 and 2 of this Leather Learning Webinar Series\, we have taken a deep dive into 2 of the major challenges related to the farming levels of the bovine leather supply chain: animal welfare and deforestation and how they impact climate\, biodiversity\, animal welfare\, and people. \nIn this webinar\, we will explore how leather can contribute to the ambitious Climate+ goals. Our Climate+ Impact team will give an overview of our Climate+ strategy and approach and provide a deep dive on the baseline for leather. The key points of the Climate+ strategy developed for leather will be presented and finally\, we will look into how progress may be measured.
