The roundtable conference will be held on 3rd June in Geneva, Switzerland. Delegates from various regions and countries will gather to exchange perspectives on trade, sustainable development, and circularity in the textile sector. The primary focus will be addressing the intricate challenges and issues associated with second-hand textiles.
The UN Environment Programme, with the Forum on Trade, Environment, and SDGs (TESS), collaborated to reflect on recent policy developments, share views on sustainable development and circularity in second-hand textiles, highlight areas needing further analysis, and identify opportunities for international cooperation to support sustainable textile value chains.
