Special Edition for COP 27 - Decarbonization
Day -
Today’s Key Announcements
The Breakthrough Agenda, launched by a
coalition of 45 world leaders, is an unprecedented international clean
technology plan to help keep 1.5°C in reach. It provides a framework for
countries and businesses to join up and strengthen their actions every year
in key emitting sectors, through a coalition of leading public, private and
public-private global initiatives.
The Carbon Dioxide Removal 2030 Breakthrough
states that by 2030, carbon dioxide removals are responsibly scaled to
remove 3 billion tonnes of CO2 per year, with another 500 million tonnes per
annum being stored for at least 100 years. In addition, the Carbon Removals
at COP is a virtual online pavilion for events, daily commentary, news and
thinking during COP27 and beyond. It is a collaborative effort composed of
volunteers, NGOs, and practitioners from across the carbon removal
ecosystem.
The First Movers Coalition (FMC) will launch
its “FMC Cement & Concrete Commitment” to showcase the emerging global
demand for green cement in partnership with the World Economic Forum (WEF)
and the Mission Possible Partnership (MPP). The Commitment will initially be
launched with five signatories.
Launch of the Africa Net Zero Concrete
Group, which aims to accelerate the decarbonization of the cement sectors in
Africa by exchanging lessons learned, supporting companies in their net zero
trajectories via the Race to Zero and accelerating the establishment of net
zero country sector roadmaps in African countries. The goal for next year is
to establish these in up to ten African countries.
The Green Cement Technology Tracker is
published in order to ensure more transparency and accountability by LeadIT
and its partner, the Global Cement and Concrete Association GCCA. The aim is
to transparently track public announcements of low carbon investments in the
cement industry.
The launch of the Climate Investment Funds’
(CIFs) new Industry Transition Programme, the world’s first large scale
dedicated finance programme for developing country industry transitions.
Plans include a $410m green hydrogen investment in Egypt led by the European
Bank for Reconstruction & Development (EBRD) and a World Bank project to
develop a $1.6bn green hydrogen global programme.
Mobile network operators signal 64 terawatt
hours (TWh) in new renewable energy required by 2030, and the Asia Clean
Energy Coalition with Google, Meta and Samsung is launched to accelerate
renewable electricity procurement in Asia. These clear demand side signals
show progress towards the 2030 ICT & Mobile Breakthrough of 80% decarbonized
electricity.
Launch of the new Net Zero Playbook
provides companies with a set of practical solutions to address their most
complex emissions challenges. It outlines what is possible, how to get
started, and provides case studies demonstrating how industry leaders are
already taking action across key decarbonization levers. It’s developed in
partnership between The Consumer Goods Forum, its members, and Accenture.
The Energize program has grown to include 15
companies, and 364 supplier companies have registered. Energize is a program
working to decarbonize the pharmaceutical industry’s value chain by helping
them to accelerate their renewable energy procurements. This growth accounts
for 22.1 TWh of electricity demand. This progress falls in line with the
focus on implementation at COP27.
Launch of the Ambition Loop for the Ocean
Economy Report. The Ambition Loop is a positive feedback loop in which bold
government policies and private sector leadership reinforce each other, and
together take climate action to the next level. By activating the blue
ambition loop,
it’s hoped this can lead to further
ocean-climate actions. The report also provides a framework for a system
approach to ocean-climate action through the “Blue Breakthroughs.”
Launch of the African Alliance for
Sustainable Cities and Built Environment. The Alliance supports the Africa
Manifesto for Sustainable Cities & the Built Environment, which sets out
policies related to energy, water, materials, finance and infrastructure
that African business leaders, city and government officials must support to
deliver a socially- and economically-inclusive built environment for
everyone across the continent.

In Case You Missed It ...
Building a maritime sector that thrives in a
world of mounting climate and geopolitical shocks and stresses
"The world around us is changing faster than
ever, and the speed of change is not going to slow down. As such, we cannot
delay action – just see what happened to the world’s supply chains in
response to external stressors such as Hurricanes Katrina and Ian, Covid 19
and Brexit." CEO of Resilience Rising, Seth Schultz explains why and how the
maritime sector is putting resilience on an equal footing with mitigation.
Africa’s future is urban – Here’s how we
ensure it’s resilient
Imagine a city running out of water – homes
and businesses go for days without cleaning, hospitals halt many of their
services, residents line up in the middle of the night to collect water,
risking human health, the economy and public safety. Smita Rawoot, Urban
Resilience Lead at WRI, introduces a new Africa-focused blended finance
instrument, the ACWA Fund, that supports city leaders to fund and scale
high-impact water resilience solutions across Africa.
Nigeria’s cities are at severe risk from
climate change. Time to build resilience, and fast
Flooding in Nigeria this year has displaced
more than half a million people, according to the National Emergency Agency.
Abiola Durodola, from the AdvoKC Foundation, and flood risk analyst, Abiade
Idunnu explain the scale of the challenge and the opportunity before States
and non-States actors alike to build resilience for the country before it's
too late.
GSK joins the Race to Resilience with pledge
to support health resilience of 15 million people by 2030
All sectors must, and can, play a part in e
resilience as the world's most climate vulnerable people and communities.
Find out more about GSK’s pledge to protect RREE support 15 million people,
a major step towards Race to Resilience’s goal to build the resilience of
four billion people globally by 2030.
Race to Resilience launches consultation to

City and subnational government signatories
to Cities Race to Resilience have more than doubled since COP26, with more
cities and subnational governments pledging to join the global campaign
every day.
Launch of the Mangrove Breakthrough:
The Mangrove Breakthrough is a
science-based, measurable, and achievable goal for non-State actors and
governments to collectively restore and protect mangroves at the scale
needed to secure the future of these vital coastal ecosystems. Created in
collaboration with the Global Mangrove Alliance this is a critical agenda to
deliver the Sharm El Sheikh Adaptation Agenda
and mitigation 2030 Breakthroughs.
