The Scandinavian Textile Initiative For Climate Action (STICA)

Climate Action Week for Fashion & Apparel

Taking Stock of Climate Action Week - A Conversation between Michael Schragger, STICA, and Ken Pucker, Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University

To wrap up the week, Michael Schragger, founder of the Sustainable Fashion Academy and Director of The Scandinavian Textile Initiative for Climate Action (STICA) sits down with Ken Pucker, Professor of Practice at Tufts University. Ken’s credentials include his role as COO at Timberland and, more recently, as a leading independent expert whose analysis cuts clearly through the sustainability noise in fashion and apparel. His opinion pieces can be found in publications such as the Harvard Business Review and The Stanford Social Innovation Review. Ken and Mike used this opportunity to discuss insights from the week, including voluntary commitments and the role of legislation, the misalignment of incentives (growth) that hinder climate action, the rise of instant fashion made possible by companies like Shein and Temu, circularity, investor pressure, etc. This was a rich conversation to end this important week.
