Industrial Deep Decarbonisation Initiative

The Clean Energy Ministerial Industrial Deep Decarbonization Initiative (IDDI) is a global coalition of public and private organisations who are working to stimulate demand for low carbon industrial materials. In collaboration with national governments, the IDDI works to standardize carbon assessments, establish ambitious public and private sector procurement targets, incentivize investment into low-carbon product development and design industry guidelines.

Coordinated by UNIDO, the IDDI is co-led by the UK and India. Additional members include Canada, Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates and the United States. The initiative brings together a strong coalition of related initiatives and organizations including the Mission Possible Platform, the Leadership Group for Industry Transition (LeadIT) and the World Economic Forum to tackle carbon intensive construction materials such as steel, cement and concrete.
