Abstract:

The garment supply chain is one of the most complex and globalized supply chains of any merchandise or commodity. The sector was one of the earliest to globalize and textile and garment production has played a unique and defining role in the economic development of many nations, especially nations in Asia. Across Asia, the sector is a transformation point, and there is a pressing need for economies involved in production activities to seriously analyse the impacts and opportunities presented by decarbonization and achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) as shown in Figure 1. The sector needs to collaborate and actively shape the role the region will play in the sector going forward. The process of a Just Transition – achieving sustainable transitions in a way that is “just" to the workers and communities involved, ensuring no one is left behind – is a guiding concept. The policy and social dialogue surrounding the Just Transition planning process provides a useful guide for structuring assessment, actions, and investments to enable the sustainability of the sector going forward.
