Mission Possible Partnership
The Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) is a movement of climate leaders and companies driving industrial decarbonisation across the entire value chain of the world’s highest-emitting heavy industry and transport sectors, including iron and steel.
MPP’s objective is to achieve tipping points in the adoption of deeply decarbonized technology solutions across its focus sectors. It does this by fostering collaboration across the full range of relevant stakeholders (policy, industry, and finance) to improve the conditions for investment in deep decarbonization and drive capital towards commercial-scale projects.

MI Net Zero Industries Mission (MI NZI)
The Net-Zero Industries Mission brings together an ambitious alliance of ten Mission Innovation member countries to work closely with private sector associations, intra- and non-governmental organisations and research institutes to drive the development of innovative cost-effective solutions for the decarbonisation of energy-intensive and hard-to-abate industries. By 2030, MI NZI pursues the goals of implementing at least 50 large-scale demonstration projects; fast-tracking the development to TRL 8 of radical breakthrough low-emission technologies and reducing the capital expenditure of low-emission innovative technologies by more than 15%.
MI NZI Member Countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, China, the European Commission, Finland, Germany, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom, USA.

Leadership Group for Industry Transition (LeadIT)
LeadIT is a public-private partnerships platform that brings together countries and companies committed to aligning high-emitting industries with the Paris Agreement by 2030, and reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. LeadIT focuses on fostering partnerships, enabling the necessary policy environment; mobilising finance flows; and exchanging best practice, to support a just and inclusive industry transition.

Industrial Deep Decarbonization Initiative (IDDI)
The IDDI is a coalition of 10 governments working with the private sector, think tanks and academia to stimulate the demand for low and near-zero emissions materials, starting with steel, cement and concrete. The IDDI advocates for public procurement commitments via its Green Public Procurement Pledge to stimulate the demand for green products and is working to harmonize systems for carbon reporting and benchmarking of industrial products.

IEA Working Party on Industrial Decarbonisation (WPID)
A forum for IEA Family governments, industrial organisations, and other relevant public and private stakeholders, to work together on key substantive questions towards accelerating industrial decarbonisation. The initial focus area of the WPID is on definitions related to what constitutes ‘near-zero emission’ and ‘low-emission’ in heavy industry, how standards can support their use, and how they can be used in policy.

Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA)
The GCCA is a CEO-led organisation, grouping sustainability leaders from around the world. The GCCA and its member companies – of forty of the leading cement and concrete companies in the world – have signed a joint industry ‘2050 Climate Ambition’. The ambition statement demonstrates the commitment of the industry across the globe to drive down the CO2 footprint of the world’s most used man-made product, with an aspiration to deliver society with carbon neutral concrete by 2050.

First Movers Coalition
By 2050, 50% of the reductions needed for net-zero emissions must come from technologies not yet available at scale. The First Movers Coalition advances these critical, emerging climate technologies by leveraging members’ collective purchasing power across hard-to-abate industrial sectors, including steel, and marshal the world’s leading companies to apply their purchasing power to create guaranteed early markets for near-zero-carbon goods and services by 2030. Building early demand by 2030 for near-zero-carbon goods and services and translating member commitments into the world’s largest, credible private sector demand signal will help scale the next generation of emission mitigation solutions for carbon-intensive sectors.

WBCSD Built Environment Pathway
Decarbonizing the built environment is key to attaining global climate goals as it represents 40% of total energy-related CO2 emissions and 40% of global resource use. WBCSD works with its member companies to help them collaborate along the full value chain to achieve their own climate targets and support decarbonization across the built environment lifecycle (material production, construction, operation, end of life) by 2050. WBCSD and its members also collectively develop definitions and measurement of what it means for the built environment to become circular, nature-positive and more equitable. Through the Market Transformation Action Agenda, WBCSD works with many stakeholders and partners in the built environment to overcome the fragmentation and provide a shared direction to drive the collective transformation.

The Programme for Energy Efficiency in Buildings (PEEB)
The Programme for Energy Efficiency in Buildings (PEEB) aims to transform the building sector by promoting sustainable building design and construction. PEEB combines financing for energy efficiency in large-scale projects with technical assistance through policy advice. PEEB mobilizes innovative financing solutions for large building projects, such as hospitals or schools, but also large national green building programmes. The programme supports its partner countries to make policies, standards and NDCs more ambitious and effective to channel investments towards green buildings. Capacity-building for professionals and decision-makers in the buildings sector prepares the ground for investments.
