Danish wardrobes, in particular, must downsize and last longer to affect a substantial reduction in the climate and ecological impacts stemming from our consumption of clothes and the textile industry in general. This is concluded by CONCITO in a recent analysis, which further reveals a twofold increase in global textile demand over the past three decades, a trend notably predicated in affluent nations such as Denmark.
Globally, the textile and clothing industry has a significant impact on the climate and environment. However, measurements of the textile industry’s greenhouse gas emissions are associated with great uncertainty, with estimates ranging from 2-10 percent of the global greenhouse gas emissions.
Denmark’s climate footprint per capita is among the world’s largest, and a major political task to reduce the climate impact from our use of especially transportation, food, and housing remains. This is shown in a new report on Denmark's global consumption emissions by CONCITO.
Denmark's climate footprint per capita is among the largest in the world, and a major political task remains to reduce the climate impact from our consumption of transportation, food and housing in particular.
Our current consumption patterns and lifestyles constitute a significant climate impact that cannot be reduced through technological solutions alone. It is therefore internationally recognized, both politically and scientifically, that action must be taken now to promote climate-friendly lifestyles while establishing green technologies and production methods.
A national reduction target for the climate footprint of consumption can be an important starting point for changing our consumption patterns. This is the conclusion of a new joint white paper from DeltagerDanmark and CONCITO.
As Denmark's territorial emissions are reduced, the emissions that occur outside Denmark's borders, as a result of our consumption, will make up a relatively large share of our total climate footprint.
