High-level Event “Threads of Change: Systemic Transformation of the Textile Sector”

A systems change and an accelerated transition towards a sustainable textile value chain are becoming increasingly necessary. Discussions at multilateral fora, including the United Nations Environment Assembly, bolster the importance of circular economy and just transition in such high-impact sectors as textiles.

In this context, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Belgian Presidency will jointly host the high-level event “Threads of Change: Systemic Transformation of the Textile Sector”. 

This event will offer a unique opportunity to reflect on:

• Global textile sector priorities and needs that policies can help address, contributing to just transition and international processes  
• Global policy solutions to leverage the textile sector to contribute to climate, nature and zero pollution goals and sustainable resource management
