It provides four recommendations.

This report presents a framework to support the development of supply-side climate pledges in emissions-intensive sectors, using the steel industry as an example. Focusing on the 'carbon-capacity nexus' – the relationship between industrial capacity and carbon emissions – it identifies key actions that governments and companies can take to reduce emissions through adjustments in industrial...
