GENEVA - The Better Cotton initiative has issued a warning to world leaders attending the COP27 climate summit to do more to protect the world's farmers and agricultural workers.
Better Cotton, whose members include global fashion and textile brands, calls for greater collaboration across the sector and its value chains to drive transparency, advocacy and action to support smallholder farming communities.
The organisation argues that climate mitigation and adaptation, as well as a just transition, are only possible if there is sustained investment in regenerative agriculture and sustainable farming.
