Description

Description LeadIT is a group of countries and companies that are:

COMMITTED to action to achieve the Paris Agreement

SUBSCRIBED to the notion that all sectors of industry can and must progress on low carbon pathways, while pursuing efforts to reach net zero carbon emissions by mid century

DEDICATED to international and public private collaboration that demonstrates feasibility of net zero pathways, and spurs others to accelerated action and increasing ambition

LeadIT creates a platform where governments and industries can cooperate in accelerating global industry transition

Objectives The Leadership Group for Industry Transition gathers countries and companies that are committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions from industry by 2050.
Activities The Industry Transition Tracker is an online database that showcases publicly available industry transition roadmaps at national scale. The Tracker captures the extent to which countries have national and sectoral industry transition roadmaps in place. The Tracker’s functionalities allow users to explore various aspects of industry transition roadmaps, including different parts of industrial value chains they are targeting, decarbonization goals they aim to achieve, and technologies, policies and financial investments required for the roadmaps to be implemented.

The aim of the Industry Transition Tracker is to create a comprehensive overview of global progress in industry transition toward national decarbonization targets, specifically net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The Tracker is developed as a tool to visualise and trace the state of industry transition in different countries and heavy industry sectors. Its primary audience is government officials and industry professionals. The Tracker supports country and company efforts to design their own decarbonization roadmaps tailored to their specific targets, needs and capacities by showcasing the variety of existing industry transition roadmaps around the world.

Goals Decarbonization efforts for industrial sectors are still largely focused in developed countries. There is far less understanding of the key barriers and challenges to bringing about industry transitions in developing countries, where industrial emissions are increasing.
