Actions led by the industry sector can set direction and pace for climate action to achieve a net zero and a nature positive planet by 2050. Increased financial and technical assistance will support the decarbonization of the industry sector, driving inclusive growth and transforming the economy.

In industrial sectors, progress will move slowly at first, but must quickly gain steam to unlock a critical mass of 700 near-zero-emission projects by 2030.

A groundswell of voluntary action from businesses, investors, cities and regions are driving breakthroughs in the supply of and demand for clean, efficient energy, zero carbon products and services, adopting compatible standards, and improving access to financing.

The Energy Transition Commission estimates that USD 540 billion of investment is required annually by 2030 for industry decarbonisation and resilience. This represents countless opportunities for new industries and job creation, coupled with increased support for skills and investment in the transition for workers.
