FEMNET factsheet: Climate damage caused by the clothing industry
The clothing industry produces 8% of all greenhouse gases – more than global aviation and shipping combined. Nevertheless, clothing hardly plays a role in the climate debate so far.
The factsheet identifies the production steps responsible for the largest emissions and presents alternative materials and consumption patterns. Since almost a third of the CO2 emissions are generated during the use of clothing, we can positively influence our textile footprint by even small behavioral changes.
