Industry, research, and political representatives are addressing the decarbonization of industrial sectors and the transition toward climate neutrality. In Europe, discussions in Vienna and Dessau-Roßlau focused on scaling technologies such as electrification, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCU/S), and circular economy models. Experts noted that maintaining economic competitiveness requires pairing technological innovation with stable political frameworks and research support.

In Mexico, experts emphasized the need for industries to accelerate the transformation of production processes. The development of mechanisms like the Emissions Trading System (SCE) is viewed as a way for companies to improve energy efficiency and meet international environmental requirements. On a global scale, while climate financing from developed nations reached $136.7 billion in 2024, significant gaps remain in meeting international commitments to limit warming.
