The Regenerative Fund for Nature’s 2024 Annual Report shows it has exceeded its land transformation target two years early. With 1.1 million hectares and 105,000 beneficiaries enrolled, the Fund’s projects in eight countries target cotton, wool, leather, and cashmere supply chains, embedding climate and water priorities into monitoring frameworks while introducing a flexible partnership model for greater corporate engagement.
The interests of 370 million Indigenous Peoples across 70 countries will now be protected somewhat following the launch of a 12-partnership-principles guide that lays the groundwork for how fashion, apparel, and textile companies can form strong partnerships with them.
Stakeholders from raw material supply chains of cotton, leather (bovine, caprine, ovine), cashmere and wool can apply for the Regenerative Fund for Nature for grants ranging from $120,000 to $620,000 with a project duration of 3–5 years.
Textile Exchange has come up with a ‘Biodiversity Landscape Analysis’ for the fashion, textile, apparel, and footwear industry to help spur companies forward with methods and actions relevant to their biodiversity and nature journey, and point them to key guidance, resources, and tools.
A just released primer for the textile-apparel-fashion industry provides an introduction to science-based targets for nature, helping organisations in the sector to enable an equitable and nature positive future.
