Join Centre for Sustainable Fashion and understand biodiversity in the context of fashion, creating a plan for fashion that protects Earth鈥檚 ecosystems.
Discover fashion practices that can protect, restore, and regenerate ecosystems: Nature is the life force that provides us with the air, water, soil, and minerals that sustain life on earth. These elements come together in the clothes we wear. This course will help you build the knowledge, skills, and connections to reimagine fashion鈥檚 practices and develop a plan to put nature first. You鈥檒l join a community of fashion and sustainability thinkers and doers that have the vision, skills, and commitment to radically transform how we live and work through fashion. Explore the impact of fashion on biodiversity and earth鈥檚 systems: With more than one million species of plants and animals at risk of extinction, our ecosystems are under stress. Fashion plays a direct role in this, and on this course you鈥檒l identify how dominant damaging systems of fashion production and consumption can be transformed to protect natural life on our planet. Use design thinking to radically rethink fashion products, services, and systems: Very few fashion companies have biodiversity strategies, but you鈥檒l examine the tools and frameworks used by companies who are developing a nature-centred way of working. You鈥檒l also be set a design thinking challenge, asking you to develop a fashion product, service or system which supports the restoration and regeneration of nature. Respond to sustainability challenges with Centre for Sustainable Fashion: This course is led by fashion and sustainability experts from Centre for Sustainable Fashion and shares knowledge from world-leading fashion practitioners and researchers. With over 110,000 learners engaged to date, you鈥檒l gain valuable insights from fellow fashion and sustainability changemakers from around the world.
