Background

On September 22, 2020, it was announced that China would enhance its national independent contribution, adopt more effective policies and measures, strive to reach its peak by 2030, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. On December 12, at the climate ambition summit, an important speech entitled "carrying forward the past and opening up a new journey for global response to climate change" was delivered via video, announcing that China's national contribution to a series of new initiatives and new emission reduction targets was announced. This is China's commitment to resolutely implement the "Bali agreement" to the world, and is also the determination to convey green development in the future to the world. On December 18, at the just concluded central economic work conference, it was clearly stated that we should do a good job in carbon peaking and carbon neutralization.

In recent years, the relevant policies of green manufacturing issued by the state emphasize the importance of life cycle assessment and green (ecological) design for promoting green, circular and low-carbon development. As the world's largest textile producer and the most important textile consumer in the future, China's textile and garment industry urgently needs to establish suitable LCA analysis and evaluation tools, localized database and information disclosure system. To this end, China Textile Industry Federation began to promote the key stakeholders in the industrial chain to jointly establish the textile and clothing industry life cycle assessment working group.
