Accelerating industrial decarbonisation: Driving demand for climate neutral materials & products Tuesday 9 November, 2021 COP26, WMB Business Pavilion, Blue Zone, SEC, Glasgow Achieving a climate neutral, circular and competitive economy requires policy innovation that is cross-sectoral and cross-value chain to accelerate the development of climate neutral materials and manufacturing processes. At this COP26 event, European policymakers and businesses discussed the key policies they see working across sectors and value chains, as well as the challenges and opportunities linked to industrial decarbonisation. The event showcased international action being driven by global alliances and the international implications of policy developments in the EU, which is being keenly watched by major competitors and importers as one of the first movers in this space. About CLG Europe Taskforce for climate neutral and circular materials and products: The event announced the creation of The CLG Europe Materials and Products Taskforce. The Taskforce is business group bringing together companies that are actively committed to committing and using climate neutral and sustainable materials, and who raise awareness about the need for EU measures to help decarbonise materials.  The Taskforce’s key objective is to drive the development, implementation and support of more ambitious, future-proof policies, programmes and initiatives in Europe to create an ecosystem that more rapidly shifts away from the energy and resource intensive production of materials to materials that are produced without using fossil fuels or emitting GHGs as by-products. The Taskforce aims to do this through policy engagement, for example, driving demand side policies to be implemented through European legislation and through the development of the evidence -base that these policies will be both environmentally beneficial as well as advantageous to the EU’s economy, its industrial ecosystems and their employment and social impacts. The taskforce will be cross-sectoral and cross-value chain with an ambitious standpoint that builds clear outreach to EU decision makers.
