The countdown to #ClimateWeekNYC is in full swing and this week, our attention turns to industrial decarbonisation. Accounting for 15% of global emissions, we have a responsibility to tackle emissions from steel and concrete making. The impact of climate change is already being felt globally – and our window of opportunity to limit its devastating effects by driving deep emissions reductions is now. It's Time to drive the industry transition. The good news is, we're seeing signs of progress. But we need to ramp it up, with every investment, policy, and business decision laser-focused towards #netzero steel and concrete. And we're delighted to have Outokumpu supporting us as a Stream Session Partner at Climate Week NYC this year. Check out our Climate Week NYC website to see what industry events are on this year and how you can can get involved: https://ow.ly/Lbu350SZXLk #SteelZero #ConcreteZero

On Monday, we kicked off our Industry week with the call to drive the steel and concrete transition. With under 5 weeks to go until #ClimateWeekNYC, today It's Time to focus on progress. We’ve been busy speaking to leading industry voices about the signs of progress we’re seeing but also to ask what needs to be done to supercharge the transition? ⭕ Our Head of Industry Jen Carson spoke with Anna Ekdahl from our #SteelZero and #ConcreteZero member Ramboll to discuss the importance of our recent survey into corporate readiness to buy low emission steel and concrete. How will we use the findings to speed up progress and drive widespread adoption - and what should we stay tuned for at Climate Week NYC? Check out the full video here: https://ow.ly/6y0w50T34fO ⭕ We also spoke to Annika Ölme ♦️ from #SteelZero member SKF Group to hear about the progress they’ve made in putting their commitment into practice.

As we continue our countdown to #ClimateWeekNYC this week, we're going to be taking a closer look at climate finance. With a new global finance goal due at #COP29, this is the year when countries set out a clear and measurable way to meet the financial commitments they pledged through the Paris Agreement. This finance is desperately needed to keep the world on track for well under two degrees of warming. Without targeted and transparent climate finance, we can't tackle climate change. The world is already seeing the impact of soaring emissions. We have to bring these in line and find ways of adapting to a new reality. We're delighted to have Risilience supporting us as Finance Program Partner at Climate Week NYC this year as we cover such an important topic. You can read more about the work we're already doing on climate finance through the #Under2Coalition on our website: https://lnkd.in/euHBtQ4U
