The Mission Possible Partnership is a coalition of public and private partners working on the industry transition to set heavy industry and mobility sectors on the pathway towards net-zero emissions by mid-century.
It focuses on developing partnerships to deliver key initiatives for enabling industries to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions, including aviation, circular cars, heavy-duty road transport, shipping, aluminium, chemicals, cement and concrete, and iron and steel.
MPP is comprised of four core partners – the Energy Transitions Commission, Rocky Mountain Institute, the We Mean Business coalition, and the World Economic Forum. The International Energy Agency will provide guidance and input on various aspects of MPP’s work, including engagement with governments and energy modelling. MPP’s efforts will be strengthened by the expertise of its supporting partners, which rank among the world´s most influential organizations in industrial decarbonization, finance and policy development. These include the Center for Climate-Aligned Finance, Ceres, the Climate Champions of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Global Maritime Forum, SYSTEMIQ, the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative, and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.
The real economy needs to be at the centre of climate action, with the harder-to-abate sectors key to avoiding the worst impacts of climate change.
Zero-carbon concrete is a cornerstone of a net-zero global economy. A new initiative, Concrete Action for Climate, plans to make it a reality. Here's how.
Most net-zero commitments are due by the 2040s but to meet them leaders must work together to achieve transformational breakthroughs in the next few years.
CEOs have a particular responsibility in the shift to net-zero - and they must act now. Here are 4 questions to consider as they set out on this path.
Building back better must include a focus on reaching net-zero, the energy transition and committing to circular economies and sustainable consumption.
The uncertainty we face now could pale in comparison to future scenarios where we face the effects of climate change.
The energy transition we need is a huge challenge that will require buy-in from across society - but time is short. Here's what you need to know.
Heavy industry and transport emit one-third of CO2 emissions. As the world struggles out of the COVID crisis, can we get them on a path to net-zero?
Reducing emissions from transport and heavy industry is crucial to a zero-carbon future. Find out more at the Virtual Industry Transition Day on 7 July.
A circular economy could reduce emissions from the production of key materials by 40% in 2050 - and aluminium has a big role to play in this transition.
When deciding on policies and stimulus measures to kickstart the global economy, policymakers should invest in the shipping industry's green transition.
Codeshare agreements are allowing some passengers to swap their plane for a train in a bid to reduce carbon emissions.
