Global value chains and climate change: findings, research and policy implications

Peter Lund-Thomsen

Chapter 9 in Global Value Chains and Climate Change, 2025, pp 215-230 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter provides an overview of the findings from this book. It summarizes the six key questions posed in the introduction, focusing on the main actors driving climate change mitigation and adaptation in the garment and textile industries, as well as the economic, social, and legal factors influencing their actions. The chapter recaps how these actors address Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, as categorized by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and engage in novel experimentation along value chains. It highlights the roles of brands, suppliers, governments, and other stakeholders in developing effective policy responses to climate challenges. Lastly, it discusses how value chain reconfigurations affect economic, social, and environmental upgrading among garment and textile firms and workers. The chapter concludes with a reflection on the implications of these findings for future research and policy development.
