ACT at UNEA
ACT exhibited at UNEA6, showcasing circular textile solutions and live weaving that highlighted Africa’s leadership in sustainable fashion.
We are excited to be one of the exhibitors at this year’s UNEA6 conference. The United Nations Environment Assembly is the world’s highest-level decision-making body for matters related to the environment. It sets priorities for global environmental policies and international environmental law. To be recognized as a key African organization focusing on circular solutions for the fashion industry.
This platform provided an avenue for us to interact with delegates from different countries showcasing our solutions. During the event, we offered live weaving and repair experiences. A tailor-made UNEA6 rug was woven during the event which will be hung in a prominent place in the UN HQ in Nairobi.
