Hot Air: How will fashion adapt to accelerating climate change?
In Higher Ground?, we used climate models and projections to look at how heat and flooding are going to intensify in major apparel production centers as climate change continues to alter our planet. But how have conditions already changed in those production centers? In Hot Air: How will fashion adapt to accelerating climate change?, we looked at the past twenty years of weather data in our 23 focus cities to try and find that out, as well as ask how workers, brands and retailers, manufacturers and their governments should react and adapt to our warming future in a world of corporate due diligence. We present those findings in this brief.
