UNIDO's Call to Action: Integrating Industries into National Climate Commitments

UNIDO has released a powerful new infographic highlighting the importance of integrating industrial emissions into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The infographic outlines key points on why nations must address industrial emissions, especially from heavy industries like steel, cement, and chemicals, which account for around 70% of industrial emissions.

1733990123712.png

To keep global warming under 1.5ºC, emissions from these sectors must decrease significantly. Decarbonizing industries requires massive investment, particularly in sectors like steel, which alone needs up to USD 335 billion by 2050. However, 90% of businesses indicate they would invest more if governments implemented policies to address specific sector challenges.

This decade is crucial for decarbonizing industries, especially in developing countries, where much of the urban infrastructure for 2050 is yet to be built. UNIDO’s Net Zero Partnership for Industry is providing a Support Package to assist countries in setting industry-specific targets and plans for their climate commitments. 🌍
