The climate crisis is directly affecting Fashion production systems, from the availability of raw materials to energy costs, logistics, production calendars and supplier reliability. Fashion now operates within an unstable territory, where climate has become a new structural agent.

It is within this context that the European Fashion Alliance launches the Climate Adaptation in the Fashion Sector survey, as part of the European project JUST FASHION under Horizon Europe, in collaboration with Eurecat, a European research and innovation organisation specialising in industrial sustainability.

The survey, to be completed via this link, focuses on climate adaptation and on the real capacity of Fashion organisations to prepare for climate disruptions, reduce risks and strengthen their resilience as an economic, industrial and creative system.

The goal is to map:

– the level of awareness of climate risks within the industry;
– the main barriers and enablers of adaptation;
– the practical needs for tools, support and guidance;
– the real challenges faced by Fashion organisations in Europe, with a particular focus on SMEs.

The data collected will support the development of practical instruments, policy recommendations and support models aligned with the concrete reality of companies and creators.

Taking part in this survey means contributing to the construction of a new climate response infrastructure for the European Fashion sector. An infrastructure that recognises Fashion as a living system, dependent on territories, resources, value chains and relationships of interdependence.

The experience of creators, brands, companies, producers and professionals is an essential part of this collective mapping.

Survey duration: 5 to 10 minutes
Open until: 6 February

Participating is an act of shared responsibility for the future of European Fashion.

JUST FASHION is a Horizon Europe project working towards a fair, resilient and sustainable transition of European Fashion, bringing together sector organisations, research centres and industrial networks to respond to climate challenges, supply chain disruptions and environmental pressures that are already shaping the present of the sector.
