Following last year’s Renewing Fashion event, this year’s Transforming Fashion’s Footprint: Innovation and Business digs deeper into key challenges and opportunities for climate and energy transition actions in the fashion sector. While various efforts continue to be made to estimate fashion’s environmental footprint, major gaps remain in how to decarbonize material production and reshape business practices.
Our first session explores cutting-edge materials innovations where the biggest contribution could be made in ameliorating the largest share of the fashion value chain’s carbon emissions. The panel will spotlight startups, researchers, and industry leaders pioneering next-gen textiles and regenerative solutions.
The second session turns to business models. How can fashion bridge the gap between academic research and real-world enterprise? What strategies work to scale sustainability while maintaining commercial viability? Leaders from brands, startups, and academia will explore models that shift from extractive to regenerative, and from performative to transformational.

Models can predict catastrophic or modest damages from climate change, but not which of these futures is coming.
On November 6, 2025, in the lead-up to the annual UN Conference of the Parties (COP30), the Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University SIPA convened a roundtable on project-based carbon credit markets (PCCMs) in São Paulo, Brazil—a country that both hosted this year’s COP and is well-positioned to shape the next phase of global carbon markets by leveraging its experience in nature-based solutions.
Connecticut needs an honest debate, and fresh thinking, to shape a climate strategy fit for today, not 2022.
