The crosscutting nature of the industry sector means its activities and outputs impact all parts of society. As a result, industry can play a vital role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout the product lifecycle, starting at the point of raw material extraction, right through production, usage and end-of-life waste recovery. Many opportunities exist in the provision of services through sustainable procurement, supply chain and logistics that minimise transport and emissions, and application of climate change technology on production plant and manufacturing processes. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
