East Asia hosts a fifth of the world's population and consumes over
half the world's coal, a quarter of its petroleum products, and a
tenth of its natural gas. It also produces a third of worldwide
greenhouse gas emissions, making it a major contributor to climate
change. The region-whose countries share ecological, sociocultural,
and political characteristics while varying in size, resource
wealth, history, and political systems-offers excellent insights
into the complex dynamics influencing environmental politics,
advocacy, and policy. With essays addressing Japan after Fukushima,
coal plants and wind turbines in China, environmental activism in
Taiwan, and sustainable rural development in South Korea, Greening
East Asia explores a region's shift from development to
"eco-development" in acknowledgment that environmental
sustainability is a critical component of economic growth.
