PARTNERSHIP FOR NET ZERO INDUSTRY: Sustainable National Transformation Pathways to Climate Neutral Industry by 2050

The steel, cement and concrete account for 50% of industrial emissions and 15% of the global emissions. Decarbonizing this sector is imminent if the international community wants to stay in line with the 1.5 degree target under the Paris Agreement. However, the transition to greener production for heavy industries is a huge challenge. Particularly developing countries are burdened with ensuring industrialization and economic growth while at the same time reducing industry-related GHG emissions. The Partnership for Net Zero Industry brings together countries, financers, industries, technology providers and research institutions to tackle this challenge together in a collaborative manner through creating a better policy environment, promoting and enabling investment in decarbonization technologies, and fostering international dialogue and knowledge-sharing on experience, solutions and lessons learned.
