Sectoral decarbonisation pathways for industry: Scaling assistance to implement industry decarbonisation targets from updated NDCs in emerging markets and developing economies

To align with net-zero goals, industry decarbonisation remains a key lever within the NDCs, especially in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). This session explores how countries are integrating industrial targets into their NDCs, the current state of technical and financial assistance, and how new initiatives—like the Climate Club’s Global Matchmaking Platform—are helping bridge technical and financial assistance gaps.

With insights from governments, International Financial Institutions (IFIs), technical assistance providers and philanthropies, the session will identify priority areas, share solutions, and generate actionable recommendations to operationalise the COP29 Global Pledge and accelerate industrial transformations.
