User:Lani Heiser/Environmental impact of fashion

Fast fashion is a business model that focuses on the production of garments in bulk, and as quickly as possible, in response to current trends. Fast fashion can also be the leading cause of important environmental impacts in the fashion industry.

Manufacturing clothing consumes significant natural resources and generates greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. According to the UN, the fashion sector alone contributes 8-10% of worldwide emissions, surpassing both aviation and shipping combined. Projections from the World Bank indicate a potential surge of up to 65% in global clothing sales by 2030.
