Fashion finds itself at a critical juncture. With years of impressive progress already unlocked, it is time to double down to accelerate impact. Activating this vital next level relies on new depths of collaborative action and evidence-based progress: it is the only way to move forward towards net positive.

The theme of the upcoming Global Fashion Summit is ‘Unlocking The Next Level’. Inspired by a significant milestone, 2024 marks 15 years since the inaugural Global Fashion Summit (formerly, Copenhagen Fashion Summit). This pivotal anniversary offers a special moment to acknowledge fashion’s evolution while keeping firm focus on near-term goals. The foundations we have established since 2009 will prove invaluable as we forge the pathway to net positive.
