Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the impact of the industrial sector on climate change, identifying the main sources of emissions, their effects on the environment and the solutions available to reduce industrial pollution. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges, and the industrial sector is responsible for approximately 30-40% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The main sources of industrial emissions include the burning of fossil fuels for energy, chemical processes specific to certain industries (such as cement production and metallurgy), and inefficient waste management. In order to reduce the impact of the industrial sector on the environment, strategies for transitioning to a low-carbon economy are needed. These include the adoption of clean technologies, the use of renewable energy sources, increasing energy efficiency and the implementation of stricter regulatory policies, such as carbon taxes and emissions trading systems.
