Provision of on-demand technical advice and specialized analysis on just transition in the industrial sector, including industrial parks, to assess and design regulatory and policy approaches for low-carbon investments, and to align industrial decarbonization with energy transition planning, industrial policy, circular economy models, and the use of green materials, systematically addressing social and gender dimensions. 2. In-depth analytical work on mitigation potential and decarbonization pathways for selected industrial parks and industrial clusters, including the development of emissions baselines, marginal abatement cost curves, scenario modeling for technology and investment options, and analysis of economic, social, and environmental co-benefits from a just transition perspective. 3.
