Cross-Sector
Cross-sector policies reduce emissions across multiple sectors of the economy. Instead of focusing on one specific sector, such as electricity or transportation, cross-sector policies integrate climate mitigation actions across a broader swath of the economy. These policies often involve market and investment mechanisms or financial components that increase funding for a range of climate solutions.
