Speaking to Becky Anderson at COP28, fashion designer Stella McCartney called on world leaders to introduce new tariffs on leather goods and fashion items made from polluting or environmentally unsustainable materials and to “stop ignoring that the fashion industry is one of the most harmful industries to the world.”

The United Nations Environment Program said fast fashion contributes “around 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions due to its long supply chains and energy intensive production.”

McCartney's label is part-owned by the luxury conglomerate LVMH, which holds a minority stake. Her brand has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. At COP28, her delegation showcased more than 15 projects pioneering biomaterials and plant-based alternatives to plastic, leather, fur and traditional fibers.
