Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA)

The world needs to fast-track the clean industrial revolution. There is a huge economic opportunity in front of us: a global pipeline of over 700 clean industrial projects worth $1.6 trillion; but fewer than 15 clean industrial plants each year are securing the finance to move forward and start construction. If we don’t step up, we miss a once-in-a-generation opportunity: stronger economies, new jobs, food and energy security, and resilient supply chains built on clean industry. That’s why we’re launching Build Clean Now, a global campaign rallying governments, industry, and finance to accelerate progress – unlocking investment and huge opportunities that can benefit every country. Build Clean Now aims to accelerate the pace at which clean industrial projects are financed and built, year-on-year, with a near-term ambition to reach 50 financed projects over 2025-2026.   The next five years can unleash unstoppable progress – if we #BuildCleanNow. 👉 Join us: https://lnkd.in/ejcRvK4h Climate High-Level Champions UNIDO Energy Transitions Commission

Last night on the eve of #ClimateWeekNYC, the ITA hosted a very special dinner in New York at Climate Week, bringing together a select and influential group of individuals from international business, finance, policy and civil society.   The conversation was kicked off by ITA Executive Director, Faustine Delasalle and we heard from Mattias Frumerie, Kim Hedegaard, Tariye Gbadegesin, Bruce Douglas, Julio Friedmann, María Mendiluce, Nili Gilbert, CFA, CAIA and many more… There was a shared excitement about the opportunities in front of us, an acknowledgement of the barriers and agreement on some of the solutions that could be applied.  Building demand for clean industrial products was a recurring theme, as was the ambition of emerging economies, the need for supportive infrastructure and cross border collaboration.  The importance of NOW in #BuildCleanNow came through loud and clear. Now is the time for collective action to lift the barriers together and seize the opportunities. Key discussions included: - The solutions are out there.  We want to see a path to deploying these solutions globally. - Countries design industry interventions in line with their own special circumstances – what works in one country won't necessarily work in another.  - While emerging markets have the ingredients and the appetite, the international markets need to provide the structure, policy, and demand, to realise the ambition. Otherwise the ambition risks being a mirage of the future. - Every plant that breaks ground is not only a clean project that is good for the environment from a CO2 perspective, but is also a step in our alignment of emerging markets development, creating more jobs, and building toward a clean future  Build Clean Now is a global campaign to fast-track the clean industrial revolution. Join us to celebrate and share clean industry success stories, and to share intelligence from real-world project experience on the most effective actions to fast-track plans into plants. Our collective aim is to accelerate the pace at which clean industrial plants are financed and built year on year – starting with unlocking 50 financed projects before COP31. The message from the room was clear: the projects are ready, the benefits are within reach. Let’s Build Clean Now. 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ejcRvK4h 

Cleaning up heavy industry is crucial — it’s responsible for 40% of global CO₂ emissions. Steel alone makes up more than 7%. At Stegra, we’re doing things differently. We’re building a fully integrated green steel process powered by renewable electricity, digitalization, and green hydrogen. By replacing coal and electrifying production, we can cut CO₂ emissions by up to 95% compared to traditional steelmaking. A green industrial revolution won’t happen in isolation. We need to join forces. That’s why we’re supporting #BuildCleanNow, a global effort uniting governments, industry, and finance to accelerate progress and unlock opportunities for every country. And as Climate Week kicks off in New York, we can’t stress this enough – industry must change fast, for the sake of future generations.

Clean industry is the third pillar of the energy transition, alongside efficiency and renewables, representing a $1.6 trillion investment opportunity across 70 countries. Currently, fewer than 15 clean industry projects a year are securing finance, with hundreds more ready to move. We are on the cusp of a major global shift. By accelerating clean industry, we have the chance to build stronger economies, more resilient supply chains, and lasting energy security. Tonight on the eve of  #ClimateWeekNYC, the ITA is bringing together  leaders from business, finance, policy and civil society. Together, we will unveil a global campaign to fast-track the clean industrial revolution. This is about mobilising countries, companies and capital to seize the clean industry opportunity.

The clean industrial revolution is within reach – but progress isn’t quick enough. Fewer than 15 clean industrial projects are financed each year, but there are 700 of these projects in the pipeline globally. That’s a $1.6 trillion investment opportunity waiting to be unlocked. We are on the cusp of a major global shift. By accelerating clean industry, we have the chance to build stronger economies, more resilient supply chains and lasting energy security. This weekend, at #ClimateWeekNYC, the ITA and Mission Possible Partnership will bring together a select group of global leaders to confront this challenge head-on. Together, we’ll be unveiling something big: a new global campaign to fast-track clean industry. Stay tuned. This is just the beginning.

3 days to go! I’m heading to #ClimateWeekNYC shortly, with a good mix of speaking opportunities, multistakeholder roundtables, and bilateral meetings on the horizon. I look forward to sharing insights from the tremendous work of our team and partners who are supporting tens of flagship clean industrial projects across the globe, and to debating and learning from others on how to reignite momentum for investment in clean energy, industry & transport amidst turbulent times. It's exciting to see the presence of clean industry on the NYCW agenda grow year on year. If only the pace of investment was following the same trend! The clean industrial revolution is within reach. Across the world, 70+ commercial-scale projects are now operational. Another 70 have reached Final Investment Decision. And importantly, 700 new clean industrial projects are in the pipeline, distributed across 70 countries. That means a $1.6 trillion investment opportunity is waiting to be unlocked. By accelerating that pipeline, we have the chance to build stronger economies and more resilient supply chains across all continents. This Sunday, on the eve of #ClimateWeekNYC, we’ll be bringing together global leaders from industry, finance, governments and civil society to confront this challenge head-on. Together, we will unveil a new campaign to fast-track clean industry and show what’s possible when countries, companies and capital come together. Stay tuned for further updates!

Nearly 70 clean plants are already operating worldwide. Over 700 are in development. Yet fewer than 15 projects a year reach Final Investment Decision (FID). So what’s holding us back? This is the moment to identify – and remove – the barriers. Vote, share your perspective in the comments, and follow the ITA and Mission Possible Partnership as we focus on accelerating the clean industrial revolution during #ClimateWeekNYC.
