Global value chains and climate change governance: garment producers’ futures

Rachel Alexander and Mohammad Harunur Rashid Bhuyan

Chapter 4 in Global Value Chains and Climate Change, 2025, pp 62-86 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter explores emerging governance forms designed to address the garment industry's contributions and needed adaptations to climate change. Diverse global and national actors are involved in creating this governance. A key consideration is that new systems developing from these initiatives should create a just transition that decreases global warming contributions while continuing to provide secure employment. This chapter explores climate governance in Bangladesh's garment industry. Major climate governance initiatives covering Bangladesh's apparel and textile industries are mapped out. In addition, this chapter identifies key factors shaping producers’ ability to maintain their businesses, considering social, economic, and environmental upgrading as imperatives, in the context climate governance and other emerging pressures.
