Building the Future of
Low-Carbon Industry
|
Dear IKI partners and friends, Turning climate ambition into action requires more than innovative technologies. It takes strong partnerships, targeted finance and the determination to turn promising ideas into practical solutions. This edition highlights how Germany's International Climate Initiative (IKI) is helping accelerate industrial decarbonisation and just transitions across the globe.
From low-carbon cement in India to cleaner industries in Indonesia and new opportunities for coal communities in Colombia, these IKI stories demonstrate how collaboration can unlock lasting change.
In addition, we were on the move in June: we’ve put together some highlights for you from our IKI networking event held on the sidelines of the Bonn Climate Change Conference and from our information stand at the German Government’s Open Day.
Enjoy reading!
Best regards, Your IKI Communications Team |
