This guidebook supports governments in identifying practical options to decarbonize their heavy industries for maximum impact.
It reinforces the vital message that industrial decarbonization is not just about reducing emissions – it is about building more resilient and sustainable economies which are fit for the future.
Bridging ambitions and implementation
The guidebook presents a curated list of industrial decarbonization measures aligned with the five building blocks of industrial decarbonization and offers a structured approach to turn commitments into tangible actions. Specifically, this guide aims to:
- Support the NDC enhancement process by providing a curated list of industrial decarbonization measures.
- Assist countries in integrating industrial decarbonization measures into NDC implementation through a structured approach based on the five building blocks.
- Provide guidance on overarching frameworks and supporting mechanisms to operationalize mitigation actions at the national level.
- Equip policymakers with tools to design and implement effective industrial decarbonization policies.
- Share case studies and best practices to facilitate the grouping and scaling up of GHG reduction interventions, promoting systemic and scalable climate action.
