Asian countries are among the largest contributors to climate
change. China, India, Japan and South Korea are among the top ten
largest carbon emitters in the world, with South Korea, Japan and
Taiwan also some of the largest on a per capita basis. At the same
time, many Asian countries, notably India, Taiwan, Japan, the
Philippines and Thailand are among those most affected by climate
change, in terms of economic losses attributed to climate-related
disasters. Asia is an extremely diverse region, in terms of the
political regimes of its constituent countries, and of their level
of development and the nature of their civil societies. As such,
its countries are producing a wide range of governance approaches
to climate change. Covering the diversity of climate change
governance in Asia, this book presents cosmopolitan governance from
the perspective of urban and rural communities, local and central
governments, state-society relations and international relations.
In doing so it offers both a valuable overview of individual Asian
countries' approaches to climate change governance, and a series of
case studies for finding solutions to climate change challenges.
