High Impact Programme for the Corporate Sector

Emissions from industry account for about 30 percent of total global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. They arise mainly from the extraction of primary materials and materials processing for manufacturing and construction, including for chemicals and fertilizers, pulp and paper, non-ferrous metals, food processing, and textiles.

This programme is GCF's first at-scale investment to promote the uptake of low-carbon technologies in the industrial sector. It has been designed to facilitate a transformational shift within energy-intensive industries, agribusinesses, and the mining sector in Armenia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Serbia, Tunisia, and Uzbekistan. It seeks to forge a low-carbon pathway by promoting the uptake of high climate impact technologies and stimulating behavioural change at the corporate governance and management level. This includes integrating climate change considerations into strategic, financial, and technological decision making.
