Our new report with @publiceye.ch shows that fashion brands have over time added ever bolder sustainability promises to their websites, but have not increased sourcing prices. Taken inflation into account the value they put on a t-short is 50% less than 25 years ago. cleanclothes.org/news/2026/fa...

Sonia Mistry, Solidarity Center: For meaningful climate action that truly protects workers, we must recognise the vital role of organised labour.
 
Collective bargaining isn’t just a tool for fair wages and safer workplaces. It’s a proven strategy to reduce heat stress and other climate-related harms. 

Local solutions led by
 workers, connected
through global
labour solidarity,
 can accelerate 
climate adaptation

🥵 Too Hot To Fashion: On 25 Sept, during Climate Week NYC, we hosted an action-focused dialogue that brought climate justice & labour rights to the forefront. Shortly after the event we also launched a position paper on heat & garment workers’ rights calling for action: cleanclothes.org/heatposition
Climate change is already costing workers their incomes: when factories flood, when production slows, when they fall sick from extreme heat, or when suppliers relocate without warning. These are not abstract risks. They are everyday realities. 

That’s why we’re calling for a severance guarantee fund,
 with brands contributing
 to a shared safety net.
If we’re talking about
 climate adaptation,
 then access to
 healthcare,
social protection,
 and income
 security must
 be part of
 the plan.

For garment workers, stress doesn't stop at the factory gates - it follows them home. 
They live in overcrowded, windowless rooms without cooling or drainage, making them the first and hardest hit by climate disasters. 

When their homes flood, they miss work, lose pay, and face rising health costs.

If we're serious about 
climate justice,
 we must invest
 in solutions that
 protect workers
 both on and off
 the factory floor.
