Summary
This policy brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute discusses the role of the G7 in decarbonizing the steel industry, noting that steelmaking accounts for approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions annually.
Key insights
- Steel production is a significant contributor to the climate crisis, accounting for approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions each year.
- To meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, emissions from steel production must be reduced, requiring increased international cooperation.
- The G7 is positioned to establish the necessary groundwork for a global transition toward industrial decarbonization, with specific steps for G7 governments to consider prior to the Leaders Summit.
