Columbia Fashion, Energy, and Climate Summit
Co-hosted by: Fashion, Energy, and Climate Network at Columbia Climate School; Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs
Event Partner: Global Fashion Agenda
With support from: Apparel Impact Institute
The Columbia Fashion, Energy, and Climate Summit will bring together leaders from fashion, energy, climate, technology, business, academia, policy, and design. The theme of this year's program is Fashion and the Climate Future, with discussions focused on examining how energy systems, materials, markets, finance, regulation, trade, and culture are transforming the industry, and what it will take to build a more resilient, competitive, circular, and climate-conscious fashion system.
The Fashion, Energy, and Climate Summit will also feature Global Fashion Agenda’s third annual Policy Master Class during Climate Week NYC. The class will explore how brands can build long-term supply chain resilience amidst shifting regulatory and political landscapes.
