Context
Green industrialization cannot be delivered by countries, companies, or institutions acting alone. Industrial value chains cross borders, technologies and capital move between markets, and policies and investments in one country can create opportunities and challenges for others. Scaling the global industrial transition requires stronger partnerships across governments, industry and finance, and across regions and levels of development. This dialogue will bring together public and private stakeholders to explore how partnerships can help overcome barriers to technology deployment, investment, and market creation.
Industry accounts for a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions, while demand for industrial products continues to grow, particularly in emerging markets and developing economies. The discussion will focus on what effective collaboration looks like in practice and how cross-border partnerships can accelerate progress. It will highlight the role of industry as a key implementation partner, connecting policy ambition with investment, innovation, and deployment on the ground. Through concrete examples and perspectives the dialogue will identify where stronger partnerships can unlock progress, how successful approaches can be replicated across borders, and where further collective action is needed to accelerate the transition.
Hosted by the Leadership Group for Industry Transition (LeadIT) in partnership with Instituto E+ Transição Energética, the session will underscore a central message: scaling solutions requires going beyond borders and connecting countries, industries and institutions to turn individual efforts into collective progress. The event will directly support the Global Mutirão’s focus on accelerating implementation under the Global Climate Action Agenda, highlighting the importance of collective effort, international cooperation and shared responsibility in advancing the global industrial transition.
