With new and updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) now submitted ahead of COP30, the focus is shifting from commitment to implementation. NDCs represent a major economic and development opportunity to improve productivity and innovation, provide policy certainty to guide investment and generate near-term economic gains while reducing long-term climate risks. This is especially evident for the industry sector, which faces both the challenge and the opportunity of transforming production systems to align with net-zero objectives. Industry decarbonisation can drive innovation, open new markets for near-zero and low-emissions technologies and enhance long-term resilience, provided the right policy signals and financing mechanisms are in place.
Drawing on the OECD–UNDP report, "Investing in Climate for Growth and Development: The Case for Enhanced NDCs", this session will examine how stronger NDCs can translate ambition into action. It will also examine how the Climate Club supports globally co-ordinated and inclusive industry decarbonisation through international collaboration.
Panellists from the OECD, governments and the private sector will discuss practical strategies to unlock finance, foster innovation and ensure that industrial decarbonisation creates sustainable opportunities for workers and communities.
