for net-zero

Industry accounts for roughly 30 percent of global CO2 emissions. Industrial actors will have to reduce emissions sharply in order for the world to reach the target of the Paris Agreement – to limit global warming to “well below” 2 degrees Celsius.


The website documents the process of the newly founded Leadership Group for Industry Transition in terms of visualizing roadmaps across countries and sectors.

Overview, detail and compare

First, an overview of all roadmaps summarized by their country is visualized on a map linking to country profile pages. Second, all roadmaps – visualized as cards –  are accessible, leading to roadmap detail pages. Finally, all country and roadmap profiles can be compared side-by-side.
