Breakthrough Agenda

The Breakthrough Agenda provides a global collaborative framework to enhance international climate collaboration, encourage join up and reduce duplication in the existing landscape of international sectoral initiatives. The Breakthrough Agenda was launched at COP26 to help the world close the “collaboration gap” and accelerate international action on climate change to meet the Paris Agreement’s global net zero targets. It convenes initiatives and countries to strengthen international collaboration to make clean technologies and sustainable solutions the most affordable, accessible and attractive option in key sectors and in all regions by 2030. Since its launch, the Breakthrough Agenda has established an internationally-recognised, annual, COP- centred, collaborative process – backed by 59 countries covering over 80% of global GDP, and more than 150 international initiatives – that enhances global cooperation in seven major emitting sectors: power, road transport, steel, hydrogen, agriculture, buildings, and cement and concrete, covering over 60% of global emissions.
