Six bold steps towards net-zero industry
Energy Research & Social Science
May 2023
To achieve net-zero industrial emissions by mid-century, the study proposes six key steps. These steps involve increasing funding, expediting the transfer of green technology, investing in human resources, setting binding emission reduction targets, gaining social acceptance for eco-friendly practices, and creating a new global treaty and climate clubs for collaborative action.
The research identifies over thirty historical and contemporary initiatives that offer valuable lessons and templates for effective decarbonisation efforts. These findings provide a roadmap for collective global approaches to address industrial emissions, working towards a sustainable and carbon-neutral future.
