In this report, the Industrial Decarbonization Accelerator, United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and Leadership Group for Industry Transition (LeadIT) provide an overview of the key components of green public procurement (GPP) policy design and methodologies for target setting.
This study aims to be a how-to-guide. To do this, it provides evidence on the role GPP can play in accelerating emissions reductions from harder to abate sectors with a focus on steel, cement and concrete; demonstrates national best practices; and explores the impact of a regional or global GPP procurement programme on-demand creation for low-carbon products and materials.
The study also provides a background to the Industrial Deep Decarbonization Initiative (IDDI).
