But as many analysts and journalists note (see \"Can India triple the value of its fashion sector while halving emissions?\" by Brooke-Roberts Islam), ambition alone doesn't guarantee alignment with climate goals.

Why Innovation-First Climate Tech Is the Future of Fashion Compliance
The constantly evolving landscape of the fashion industry, from evolving silhouettes to fast-paced production cycles, grows on reinvention. However, one fact is becoming more and more obvious as the ecological problem worsens and governmental oversight increases: fashion can no longer afford to innovate solely in terms of aesthetics. The way it sources, creates and assesses its impact must change in the modern era. Climate technology and more especially innovation-first climate technology, is at the centre of this change and will serve as the foundation for fashion compliance in the future.
