Tips for industrial enterprises:

• Strategic Planning
  Strategize for decarbonization needs, reducing regulatory and financial risks while boosting resilience and market opportunities.
  
  
• Emission Excellence
  Monitor and adjust emission indicators, especially Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, including both upstream and downstream activities), to enhance carbon profiles and gain a competitive edge.
  
  
• Collaborative Decarbonization
  Collaborate with other industries, leveraging joint efforts to enter low-carbon value chains and spark industrial synergies.

Suggestions for policymakers:

• Energy Sector Reinforcement
  Provide robust support for decarbonization projects in the energy sector, fostering significant energy savings and climate objectives.
