SEI’s Leadership Group for Industry Transition (LeadIT) is hosting two events on global leadership and accelerating the transition to net zero concrete and cement. LeadIT gathers countries and companies that are committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions from industry by 2050.
SEI experts will also participate as speakers, panellists and delegates at over 20 partner events across Climate Week NYC. They will discuss connected topics such as energy, industry, nature, policy, sustainable living, and transport, all of which underpin our multidisciplinary approach to climate solutions.

This event will bring together leaders from heavy industry sectors, governments, and multilateral institutions to discuss successful approaches towards enabling and accelerating industry decarbonization, ways in which such approaches can be diffused and scaled, as well as persistent bottlenecks. It will focus on the crucial role of business, public-private, and cross-geography partnerships, as well as on the unique challenges and opportunities for industry decarbonization in emerging economies. Closing remarks will be provided by Benjamin Dousa, Sweden’s Minister for Foreign Trade and International Development Cooperation, and Tanmaya Lal, India’s Secretary, Ministry of External Affairs.
This event will bring together leaders from the cement and concrete industry as well as governments, financiers, and academia, to discuss persistent barriers to cement decarbonization and how to overcome them. It will focus on requirements to accelerate innovation and adoption of decarbonization technologies, persistent policy and regulatory barriers hindering deployment and scaling of different decarbonization approaches, as well as promising models to learn from and build on.
This new document is a joint report led by SEI Asia in partnership with CARE France. CARE will be presenting on SEI’s behalf. Please note that Cynthia McDougall is the lead contact for the report but will not be attending in person.

Invite only roundtable
This roundtable event brought together a range of stakeholders from across business, academia and philanthropy to discus the intersection between climate and health for businesses and the impact on commercial activities and strategies.
Eleni, together with representatives from the Inter IKEA Group, shared their collaborative work producing the Practical Guide For Business: Air Pollutant Emission Assessment, which was adopted by the World Economic Forum’s Alliance for Clean Air in 2022.
The big question deliberated was how can we better communicate the gains and benefits made from reducing air pollution, including how:
We continue to support the work of the Alliance for Clean Air by providing its members with technical support and strategic guidance in relation to the quantification of their air pollutant emissions, the inclusion of these emissions as part of their ESG/Sustainability (or other) reports, the development of scenarios (business as usual and mitigation), and the development of expected reductions and/or targets for air pollutant emissions.
