Join us for a webinar on the key strategies and collaborative efforts needed to accelerate industrial decarbonization in Germany and New Zealand. As both nations aim for carbon neutrality by 2045 and 2050 respectively and seek to preserve international competitiveness in light of global decarbonization efforts, identifying the most efficient ways to transform established industries becomes imperative. This webinar will initiate a new series of exchanges between policy makers and business stakeholders on the matter of industrial decarbonization by first presenting the findings of a new comparative study and shining light on the differing industrial sectors and political frameworks between the two countries.
