To celebrate International Women’s Day, we’re highlighting a few of the women who are driving change across the steel supply chain. Ankita Gangotra, PhD is a Senior Manager at World Resources Institute, leading efforts to decarbonise the ?? industrial sector through technology and policy innovation. Her work focuses on reducing emissions in the cement and steel industries, shaping climate-oriented trade policies, and fostering international cooperation. “I was apprehensive when starting work on the steel and industrial sector more broadly due to its male dominated nature, but I’ve been inspired by the incredible women working on steel decarbonisation and their fierce advocacy,” says Ankita. “It’s been empowering to be surrounded by such passionate colleagues who are driving meaningful change. I hope we can accelerate the pace of steel decarbonisation while ensuring a just and equitable transition that benefits both communities and workers in the sector.” Read more ??? https://lnkd.in/drg5w6Qm #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025 #WomenInSteel #Steelmaking?#Sustainability

???? #ClimateFinance can drive the transition to #sustainabletransport, but it needs to scale up fast. Transport is one of the fastest-growing sources of emissions, yet funding for solutions like electrification, public transit, and walkable cities is still far too low. Global climate finance for transport needs to reach $2.7 trillion by 2050, but we are not on track. A new article from WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities explores how low- and middle-income countries can better access climate finance to transform their #transport systems. With insights from more than 800 projects and 14 case studies, it highlights real-world opportunities to unlock funding and accelerate progress. Read more: https://bit.ly/3QYE7Rs

?? The long-term objectives of 1.5°C, Net Zero, and LT-LEDS are often referenced interchangeably, but their alignment with #NDCs is crucial for achieving effective long-term mitigation goals. WRI’s latest expert note highlights how understanding these connections is key to realizing a successful course towards net zero. For countries preparing their next-generation NDCs, this is a must-read. Dive into the details here: https://bit.ly/3Dsi1E2
