This report builds upon the growing momentum for an EU industrial transition to net-zero amongst policy makers and industry, and sketches the blueprint of such an industrial strategy towards climate neutrality. It identifies policy options to address key challenges industry faces on the transition path to climate neutrality. It also indicates how this policy set can be integrated into an industrial strategy and what governance instruments could guide to a successful implementation. This report should be seen as a primer to a more detailed and comprehensive debate on the need, design, implementation, and governance of a European industrial strategy for climate neutrality.
