The Apparel Impact Institute Climate Solutions Portfolio (CSP) provides millions in grant funding for innovations and existing textile industry solutions that can demonstrate their power to reduce supply chain greenhouse gas emissions.

It’s finally dawning on the wider population that there is a climate crisis and, whilst we can argue about the exact share of the overall damage that’s being done by the textile and fashion industry, there is a collective understanding that things need to change to decelerate, stop and ultimately reverse the damage.

However, we’re living in strange times where there is clearly a need to do ‘stuff’, a lot of people are trying to do a lot of ‘stuff’ via industry initiatives and programmes but there is a counter-industry of well-funded critics who take great delight in disparaging those trying to make progress.
