  • Coalitions for clean industry: Coordinated Pathways to Industrial Decarbonisation
    Tue 17 Nov, 9AM, Australia Pavilion
    Heavy industry, including steel, cement, chemicals, and more, is the hardest sector to decarbonise, and it requires international cooperation and harmonisation to do so economically efficiently. This side event explores how coalition-based approaches can accelerate industrial decarbonisation while keeping trade open and costs low through shared emissions standards, joint green procurement, and technology and finance cooperation that supports developing-country industrialisation. Drawing on the Harvard-MIT Climate Coalitions Working Group and Australia's Carbon Leakage Review, panellists from Australia, Asia, North America, Europe, and multilateral institutions will offer brief remarks before an open discussion.
     
  • Plurilateral Policies for Fostering Green Industrial Trade and Low-carbon Transformation
    Tue 17 Nov, 11:30AM, Side-Event Room Red
    Interactions between climate and commodity trade grows as carbon intensity in industrial products influences more domestic and international policy. Improved coordination matters for cost effectiveness as decarbonization leads to new industrial technology and geographical production patterns.
