What does it take to achieve net zero? Opportunities and barriers in the steel, cement, agriculture, and oil and gas sectors

Abstract

The report provides insights from sustainability experts focused on four high-emitting sectors – steel, cement, agricultural commodities, and oil and gas. In assessments that can be read independently, we highlight what investors need to know about these sectors if they really aim to influence them, including the decarbonisation pathways that appear most promising. Our analysis concludes with a set of broader lessons and questions regarding the role of investors in engaging with climate-intensive sectors.
