As one of the largest sources of global emissions, industries must undergo a profound transformation to align with net-zero goals. Unlocking the necessary capital and deploying financial innovations will be essential to scaling low-carbon technologies and resilient supply chains. What are the key financing instruments—such as blended finance, transition bonds, and carbon pricing—that can drive deep emissions reductions across heavy industries? How can policymakers, investors, and industry leaders collaborate to unlock capital for breakthrough technologies, infrastructure upgrades, and circular economy initiatives?
