An International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) and Ecofys Report
October 2017
The objective of this study is to assess the global contribution of the chemical industry to selected six solutions in the context of limiting average temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius, as agreed on in the Paris Agreement in 2015. Despite the small number of solutions considered, the magnitude of chemical products’ contribution is remarkable. The study on the maximum potential indicates that even a higher reduction seems feasible in 2030 with appropriate and enabling policies in place.
