Mission Possible Partnership

 

The Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) is an alliance of climate leaders focused on supercharging efforts to decarbonize some of the world’s highest-emitting industries in the next 10 years.

Concrete, steel, aluminium, and chemicals—as well as the ships, planes, and trucks that move them—are the building blocks of the global economy. But these seven sectors are currently responsible for 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, and that is projected to grow. MPP is working to change that.

Supported by an expanding network of nearly 300 partners across industry, finance and policy, MPP is empowering high-ambition sector initiatives in seven target sectors, together working towards one end goal: net-zero emissions.

As the MPP knowledge partner, McKinsey Sustainability brings over a decade of research, analytics tools and solutions, and a dedicated team of more than 30 partners and experts. Our collaboration with MPP will help to accelerate transitions in carbon-intensive sectors.
