International Conference on Human Rights, Sustainability and Climate Change Buckingham, Buckingham

The International Conference on Human Rights, Sustainability and Climate Change seeks to place human rights approach at the heart of global climate change discussions by converging multi-disciplinary, academics, post-graduate students, researchers, policy makers, activists, post graduate students and industry practitioners to present key findings, explore and activate result-based solutions on the impact of climate change on social and economic rights of human beings.

A key focus of the conference is evaluating the fast fashion industry’s contribution to climate change: it accounts for 10% of humanities carbon emissions, 20% of global industrial water pollution and a major contributor to greenhouse gas emission. The conference will therefore, also explore themes of sustainability, ethical practices and the negative impact of fast fashion on climate change.
