A new analysis from the Apparel Impact Institute (Aii) has produced a new figure on the size of the fashion industry's carbon footprint, which it claims is the most accurate yet. Climate change consultant Michael Sadowski estimated that the industry was responsible for 897 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) in 2021, or about 1.8 % of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This figure is revealed in Aii's new report, Taking Stock of Progress Against the Roadmap to Net Zero, which updates the 2021 report The Roadmap to Net Zero by Aii and the World Resources Institute (WRI).
