63 agreements and monitor impact indicators independently of administrative changes. Likewise, the scale of investment required to replace thermal coal rents exceeds local capacity, implying that the final success of the model depends on its effective articulation with funding sources of the national and international order. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR INDUSTRY The implementation of the Observatories of Territorial Transformations (OTT) model in Cesar allows concluding that the energy transition in regions dependent on thermal coal mining is not exclusively a technological process, but fundamentally a challenge of socioeconomic restructuring. The results evidence that social acceptance of decarbonization is conditioned on the existence of tangible economic alternatives; the validation of definitions of "Just Transition" that prioritize employment and equity over simple emission reduction confirms that, for affected communities, climate justice is inseparable from economic security. Therefore, territorial planning allows aligning community expectations with the reality of mining closure when transparent technical data and binding dialogue spaces are available. For the global mining industry, the findings of this study have direct strategic implications on asset life cycle management. Consequently, the industry must integrate territorial economic diversification planning from initial phases, and not as a reactive measure at the end of the mine's useful life. The proposed "legacy investment" model, where companies participate in the co-construction of long-term roadmaps like the JSET, allows transforming the social liability of closure into sustainable development assets. Finally, the OTT model presents itself as a replicable and scalable methodology for other mining jurisdictions facing the dual pressure of energy transition and social demand. The model's capacity to democratize technical information on royalties, tariffs, and productive vocation acted as a catalyst to qualify public debate. For the private sector and governments, this implies that investment in the generation and social appropriation of territorial data is an efficient mechanism for conflict prevention and governance building.
