Accelerating industrial decarbonisation: The Climate Club’s journey from COP28 to today

The Climate Club, initiated in 2022 by the G7, was launched at COP28 by 35 countries and the European Union. It focuses on decarbonising industry in emerging and developing economies where much of the industrial growth will happen in the following years. To achieve near-zero emissions in industrial production, the Climate Club seeks to foster cooperation and collective action, write Anna Lockwood, Junior Policy Analyst, and Celia Pastor, Climate Club Communications Officer, both of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which has hosted the Climate Club Interim Secretariat with the International Energy Agency (IEA) since mid-2023.
