Title: "Fashion revolution: Why sustainability must start with climate awarness and justice in human rights"

This talk is part of this year's Fashion Talks at ¹ú²úÈý¼¶Æ¬entitled: Between Social Justice, Climate Justice and Fashion Justice – organized by Professor Renate Stauss, (Fashion Studies, Department of Communication, Media and Culture).

About the talk:
What is the connection between global conflicts, humanitarian issues, and the climate crisis? How does the fashion industry fit into this complex web as one of the world’s most polluting sectors? In this talk, we’ll explore how fashion can shift from being a major contributor to environmental damage to becoming a force for justice and a driver of sustainability. By examining the intersections of social, climate, and fashion justice, we’ll discuss how true sustainability must start with awareness and systemic change rooted in values and justice.
