NDC 3.0 Guidebook for Industrial Decarbonization – Volume 2

This guidebook supports governments in identifying practical options to decarbonize their heavy industries for maximum impact.

It reinforces the vital message that industrial decarbonization is not just about reducing emissions – it is about building more resilient and sustainable economies which are fit for the future.

Bridging ambitions and implementation

The guidebook presents a curated list of industrial decarbonization measures aligned with the five building blocks of industrial decarbonization and offers a structured approach to turn commitments into tangible actions. Specifically, this guide aims to:

• Support the NDC enhancement process by providing a curated list of industrial decarbonization measures.
• Assist countries in integrating industrial decarbonization measures into NDC implementation through a structured approach based on the five building blocks.
• Provide guidance on overarching frameworks and supporting mechanisms to operationalize mitigation actions at the national level.
• Equip policymakers with tools to design and implement effective industrial decarbonization policies.
• Share case studies and best practices to facilitate the grouping and scaling up of GHG reduction interventions, promoting systemic and scalable climate action.
