LCTPi: Chemicals

The Low Carbon Technology Partnerships initiative (LCTPi) is comprised of over 160 companies and 70 partners who are committed to accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. Led by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and supported by We Mean Business partners, LCTPi offers a collaborative platform for businesses and policymakers to scale up deployment of business solutions to a level and speed that are consistent with limiting global warming to below 2°C. Taken together, LCTPi efforts could deliver 65% of the emissions reductions needed to remain under the 2°C limit while channeling $5-10 trillion of investment toward low carbon sectors of the economy and support 20-45 million person-years of employment.
