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. |
