This open access book is designed as a continuation of the editor's 2019 book Achieving the
Paris Climate Agreement Goals. This volume provides an in-depth analysis of industry sectors
globally and its purpose is to present emission reduction targets in 5-year steps (2025 to
2050) for the main twelve finance sectors per the Global Industry Classification System. This
scientific analysis aims to support the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment
initiative to give sustainability guidance for the global finance industry. The industry sector
pathways presented here are based on the latest global and regional 100% renewable energy and
non-energy greenhouse gas Representative Concentration Pathways in order to keep climate change
significantly under +1.5 C and thereby achieve the Paris Climate Agreement goals. The heart of
this book is three chapters presenting the results of industry scenario modelling. These
chapters cover twelve industry and service sectors as well as transportation and buildings. The
specific energy demand and specific emissions are presented based on the emission accounting
concept of Scope 1 Scope 2 and Scope 3 emission pathways. This methodology has been developed
to measure the climate and sustainability index for companies and this research project
expands the methodology to apply it to entire industry sectors. The results presented here are
the first overall industry assessments under Scope 1 2 and 3 from 2020 through 2050. The base
for the energy pathways is the scenarios scenarios published in the previous volume. The
nonenergy GHG emission scenarios broken down to agriculture & forestry and industry are
detailed and include all major greenhouse gases and aerosols. The final section of the book
presents the main conclusions of the industry pathway development work and recommendations for
the finance industry and policy makers. Additionally future qualitative future investment
requirements in specific technologies and measures are presented. Part 1 of this title can be
