This year looks like it may be the year that eco fashion really takes centre stage. As we move on from 2009, International year for natural fibres, to 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity, Green2greener is will collaborate with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) on a series of activities that will highlight the importance of natural fibres and biodiversity in sustainable development strategies.

First up is is EcoChic in Geneva on 20-21st January, which will begin with a seminar that aims to redefine sustainability in the International Agenda from the perspective of the fashion and beauty industries. There will also be a gala evening, the launch of a sustainable fashion exhibition and a dramatic fashion show with ready to wear and couture collections of eco fashion from all over the world. The exhibition will also be open to the public until 4th February.

The organisers hope to make a difference in the arena of sustainable fashion by bringing together senior representatives from the private sector with key decision-makers from government, civil society and other public sector organisations.
