YOUR COURSE LEADERS
Michael Schragger, Initiative Director, STICA
Michael has been working at the forefront of the sustainability movement for more than twenty-five years. In 2010, Michael founded the Sustainable Fashion Academy (SFA), a non-profit organisation whose mission is to rapidly accelerate progress to science-based sustainability targets and the global sustainability goals. SFA's strategy for impact is unique because it involves influencing the development and impact of the apparel industry and its stakeholders, an industry that is both environmentally damaging and socially important, given it employs millions of people, especially in lower-income countries. During the past decade Michael has advised leading apparel and textile companies, government and research organisations and NGOs in sustainability and business strategy. He has educated and trained thousands of professionals. In 2019 Michael co-founded The Swedish Textiles Initiative for Climate Action (STICA), a platform for ensuring Nordic companies and industry stakeholders set science-based climate targets and work actively to reduce GHG emissions in line with the 1,5 C degree warming pathway. He is the founder and initiative director. To find our more visit www.sustainablefashionacademy.org/STICA.

ABOUT STICA
Climate Action, Apparel & Textiles
In 2018 the IPCC stated in their special report ”Global Warming Of 1.5⁰C” that global temperature rise of more than 1.5⁰C will likely result in severe consequences for people and the planet. In order to limit warming to no more than 1.5⁰C, scientists tell us we need to halve our emissions every decade.
The apparel and textile industries are responsible for a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Recent studies estimate that the apparel industry accounts for approximately 3-7 per cent of the share of global emissions, ranging between 1.39 to 3.29 gigatons carbon dioxide emissions yearly, depending on what is included in the scope. Given the anticipated growth of the industry in emerging markets and our need to half emissions by 2030, it is crucial that the textile industry does its part and more.
A majority of our industry’s GHG emissions are generated within raw material production, supply chain processing and assembly, and in customer product care and end of life disposal. Because these impacts are outside the direct control of any single company, all actors, including brands and retailers, need to work together and engage with suppliers, governments, financial organizations and consumers if we are to make a difference.
Given the seriousness of the situation, stakeholders are expecting the apparel and textile industry to do more than acknowledge the problem. They are expecting the industry to show concrete progress.
About STICA
To contribute to halving emissions by 2030, leading NGO The Sustainable Fashion Academy (SFA), in collaboration with well recognized apparel and textile companies, launched The Swedish Textile Initiative for Climate Action (STICA). STICA’s aim is to support apparel and textile companies, as well as the entire Nordic apparel and textile industry, to reduce its climate impacts in line with the 1.5⁰C pathway while strengthening its global competitiveness. Ultimately, STICA’s aim is to ensure Sweden and the Nordic region do more than their share well before 2050. STICA believes this is the only way to avert a climate crisis.
