Happy to let you know that my @ECDPM colleague @nadia___ashraf and I have just published a commentary on how the EU and Kenya can work together for more circular textiles in EU - Kenya trade. Wishing you a good read! 👉🏽https://t.co/6gSTxMk3T9
Good to see the @Europarl_EN voting for the strategy for sustainable & #circular textiles!
Over the past decade, clothing imports to the EU increased by 62%.
Let’s hope the strategy brings tougher measures which also consider the impacts on exporting countries, like Kenya 🇰🇪.👇
The @Europarl_EN voted today for an EU strategy for sustainable & #circular#textiles. What are the consequences & opportunities of such policies on exporters, such as Kenya 🇰🇪?
