Mark your calendars: 2025 is a big year for sustainable fashion events

There is a lot riding on the myriad sustainable fashion events and conferences that will convene decision-makers and activists in 2025. With just five years to go until 2030 — the date by which fashion needs to have cut its carbon footprint in half to align with the Paris Climate Agreement — the need for urgent action is clearer than ever, but so is the lack of progress.

Deciding which dates to mark and events to attend can be difficult. Large-scale conferences tend to “focus more on high-level discussions without driving the systemic changes needed on the ground” and often lack the essential voice of garment workers, says Katrina Caspelich, CMO at advocacy organisation Remake. They can feel like “a lot of noise and little action”, agrees Reformation chief sustainability officer and VP of operations Kathleen Talbot.
