Building on its ‘Framework for industry's net-zero transition’, the OECD is organising a multi-stakeholder event on financing industry decarbonisation. The event aims to frame and shed light on common and structural challenges on financing industry decarbonisation across industry sub-sectors and countries. It will further highlight commonalities in terms of financing solutions, successful business models and enabling conditions.
The sessions will echo to the wide range of sectors covered by the Framework including steel, cement, petrochemicals, plastics, textile, as well as hydrogen as a cross-cutting technology. Barriers and solutions will be discussed across the value chain, including material production and its strategic inputs, as well as circularity and recycling. Reflecting the 3 pillars’ approach of the Framework, the sessions will bring together stakeholders from the policy, financing, and industry spheres.
By targeting both EMDEs and developed countries, industry and financing stakeholders, this event will identify common avenues for increased cooperation. In this way, it will contribute to create dialogue and promote knowledge sharing between different stakeholder groups.
Such a cross-cutting approach will also inform the ‘Handbook for Industry’s net-zero transition’. The Handbook will build on the Framework implementation outcomes in diverse countries and sub- sectors to form a compendium of financing solutions and enabling conditions for accelerating investments for industry decarbonisation.
