Industrial Deep Decarbonisation Initiative (IDDI)
The Clean Energy Ministerial Industrial Deep Decarbonisation Initiative (IDDI) is a global coalition of public and private organisations who are working to stimulate demand for low carbon industrial materials. In collaboration with national governments, IDDI works to:
- Standardise carbon assessments for industrial materials
- Establish ambitious public and private sector procurement targets
- Incentivise investment into low-carbon product development
- Design industry guidelines for decarbonisation
Coordinated by UNIDO, the IDDI is co-led by the UK and India and current members include Canada, Germany and United Arab Emirates (UAE). The initiative brings together a coalition of related initiatives including the Mission Possible Platform, LeadIT, IRENA and the World Bank.
Within three years, IDDI expects to encourage a minimum of ten governments to make public procurement commitments for low-carbon steel and cement.
