The fashion industry, with its linear form of production and consumption, based on extraction and disposal, is responsible for a considerable amount of greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to the global warming and climate changes. Therefore, the relevance of studying this theme and the need to seek sustainable alternatives in order to guarantee the continuity of the human species on this planet is clear. Given the urgency of transition from the current production and consumption model to a more sustainable one, this research seeks to investigate the negative environmental impacts linked to the production chain of the fashion industry, focusing on the production of textile fibers, and how this is related to global warming, in order to collect the necessary information to promote actions to combat climate change. Based on this data, this research aims to evaluate how the Brazilian legal system behaves to solve the problems of sustainability in the national production of textile fibers and what are their deficiencies. Finally, in an attempt to shed light on this issue, this work presents recommendations from international organizations to achieve the goals of combating global warming, a proposal for an economic model based on circularity and the actions taken by Sweden to achieve these goals.
