The series would present books about the present and future policies of textile ministries of different countries, and books related to sustainability education around different parts of the world in the textile sector. Moreover, it would welcome the conference proceeding related to SDGs and textiles, Springer said on its website.

Springer Nature, a global publisher that serves and supports the research community, is going to launch a new book series ‘SDGs and Textiles’ addressing the strategies to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the present, past, and future. The series would cover books comparing the sustainability and SDGs of different institutions and countries.

“The individual book volumes in the series are thematic. The goal of each book is to give readers a comprehensive overview of a different area of sustainability in the textile sector. As a collection, the series provides valuable resources to a broad audience in academia, the research community, industry, and anyone looking to expand their knowledge of SDGs and textiles,” it added.

Textiles and life are together – life cannot be separated from textiles as it is the most important need for human beings after food. In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly proposed 17 interlinked global goals (called SDGs) to be achieved by 2030. Since then, academia and industry have paid much attention to achieving these goals. Textile found its close relation with almost all of these 17 goals.
