The glossary of terms refers both to the Intersectoral Climate Center and to the concepts used by the Coalition in its technical publications.
The physical means by which the transportation of people or goods takes place. It defines the operational context within the sector — each mode has its own technology, supply chain, and emission logic.
The Coalition study also uses "Transversality" for an internal axis of the sector (alongside Urban Mobility and Infrastructure) — not to be confused with Transversal Vector, a different concept described below.
First level of sector decomposition. The grouping criterion is defined by the internal logic of each sector—it can be organized by type of change, by production chain, or by another relevant sectoral logic.
Strategic direction for decarbonization within a Block, which groups the levers by type of intervention. The same macro-theme may appear in more than one block within the same sector.
A concrete and prioritized deployment of the emissions reduction objective within a broader theme. It defines a specific intervention with sufficient granularity to be monitored individually.
The theme of decarbonization spans multiple economic sectors simultaneously. Selected based on two criteria:
A specific and directional proposition on how a solution progresses in an application context.
The theses are organized by technology type (e.g., Ethanol, Biodiesel, Biomethane in Biofuels) — this grouping organizes the data in the backend, but does not open a separate screen: those navigating the panel go directly to the Vector Enablers, without going through a thesis.
Just as with other sectors, these are the main preconditions for unlocking the vector's advancement — ultimately, it's always a combination of private coordination (technological leap, certification, economies of scale) and public coordination (policy, regulation, incentives).
But each vector organizes its data into its own set of thematic groups, specific to its content—not a generic axis shared among vectors. In Biofuels, for example, there are 4 groups:
What is actually tracked within a sectoral Enabler (within a Lever) or a Cross-Cutting Vector. Each Enabler is organized into groups, each group lists its actions, and each action has its own status, in two layers: a phase and, within it, a rhythm since the last reporting cycle.
