BREAKTHROUGH SECTORS

The Breakthrough Agenda enhances global cooperation in seven major emitting sectors that cover over 60% of global emissions. 

Each Breakthrough is co-led by two or three countries and is focused on achieving a 2030 goal by convening coalitions of countries and initiatives to deliver annually agreed Priority Actions.

The annual Priority Actions respond to the recommended areas for strengthened and coordinated international action in the annual Breakthrough Agenda Report.

The Breakthrough Agenda convenes and provides a service to the landscape of key international initiatives in each sector. Below are ‘landscape maps’ intended to showcase the different initiatives that work in each sector to show the breadth and linkages in activity.
