In order to assist the textile industry to achieve the dual carbon goal, factors hindering the reduction of the textile industry carbon emissions are summarized. Based on the six-stage textile production lifecycle, including fiber manufacture, yarn and fabric production, dyeing and finishing, garment manufacturing, consumption and recycling, this paper summarized previous green innovation related literature in China and abroad. Addionally, a 4R(i.e., raise, replace, renew and regulate)carbon reduction strategy is proposed. On this basis, the green innovation path of textile industry is suggested from four directions: upgrading the industry structure, increasing the clean energy proportion, promoting the concept of green consumption, and improving the recycling system. It is suggested to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality in the textile industry in conjunction with adopting the carbon sink, carbon capture and storage, carbon trading and other management methods.
