Minerals are key to the energy transition, but their extraction is often associated with environmental destruction & human rights abuse. Join us with @climatechangenews.com at #LCAW2025 to discuss rebuilding trust in mineral supply chains. Register here: www.eventbrite.com/e/breaking-w...

"Fashion brands including Hermes, Nike and H&M are in the hot seat amid new allegations of climate greenwashing after making commitments to slash carbon emissions in Asia" @aljazeera.com reports on our research on the #JustTransition in fashion supply chains ⬇️ www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025...

Yesterday we reported that no major fashion brand has developed a decarbonisation strategy integrating worker rights. Today Tamil Nadu Textile and Common Labour Union + HeatWatch provide worker perspectives, outlining how factories are becoming hazardous as climate change pushes beyond safe limits.

Our new research shows that no major fashion brand has developed a decarbonisation strategy that meaningfully integrates workers’ rights. It is imperative brands set out a clear pathway for decarbonisation based on social dialogue and negotiation with suppliers and workers.

We've joined over 150 Indigenous Peoples, labour unions and civil society orgs signing a joint letter urging the UN Secretary-General to take swift action toward the establishment of a High-Level Expert Advisory Group on critical energy transition minerals. 📄Full letter: pwyp.org/civil-societ...
