What is the Industrial Decarbonization Platform?
The Industrial Decarbonization Platform is a major communications initiative launched in 2025 in close collaboration with UNIDO’s Division for Energy and Climate Action. This project aims to boost the global visibility and impact of the Division by showcasing the essential mix of policies, technologies, and partnerships needed to speed up industrial decarbonization, especially in emerging and developing economies. Central to this effort was the creation of a brand-new Division-wide website and brand identity — decarbonization.unido.org — designed to make the complex topic of industrial decarbonization accessible and compelling to a wide audience.
Main Benefits of the Platform
This initiative brings a range of benefits that help drive awareness and action around industrial decarbonization:
- Elevates UNIDO’s Division for Energy and Climate Action on the global stage
- Highlights critical policies and technologies needed for industrial decarbonization
- Fosters partnerships that accelerate climate action in developing economies
- Provides a centralized, user-friendly website as a hub for information and resources
- Transforms complex climate challenges into compelling stories that engage diverse audiences
