Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration Introduction:

For success, almost every decarbonization avenue requires collaboration and coordination between diverse stakeholders.

The extent of collaboration needed could differ from one avenue to another. While decarbonization avenues such as solar power plants or wind farms require relatively less collaboration owing to the nature of the technology and business, avenues such as sustainable forest management, wetlands, and permafrost management are far more intricate, requiring complex coordinations between solution providers, government, civil society and in some cases even indigenous tribes.

Given the diverse nature of stakeholders, each having quite their own set of priorities, and given the challenging nature of implementation and maintenance, it is critical to ensure effective collaboration between these stakeholders to scale decarbonization for these domains.

Not surprisingly, there are already several collaboration frameworks that have emerged for many industries – textiles, steel, cement, oil & gas are some of the prominent examples – though their effectiveness is not yet clear.

While technology and processes can play a vital role in accelerating multi-stakeholder collaboration, they may not be sufficient. Significant changes may be needed in both international and national governance systems, in transparency and reporting of local and regional actions and in the way critical, large-scale decarbonization projects are led and managed.

We can expect a lot of activity in this domain for the 2020-2030 period, with significant action happening especially in hard-to-abate and high emissions industries, green chemistry, fashion, buildings, oil & gas, transport, and carbon capture & utilization.
