East Asia is a key region in the global economy, including both the
second and third largest global economies already and, led by
China, continuing to expand at a rapid rate. This economic growth
has led to unprecedented gains in prosperity in the region but it
has also led to increasing environmental pressures and energy
issues. This book assesses ways in which East Asia can continue or
even increase existing rates of economic growth while at the same
time reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental
degradation. Using advanced modelling approaches, future scenarios
for four East Asian countries are assessed in detail, including
analysis of particular challenges in each country (e.g. coal power
in China, nuclear power in Japan). Prospects for each country's
energy system are assessed in detail and the potential effects of
various types of Environmental Tax Reform in the four countries are
also considered carefully. The final section of the book explores
the interaction between trade liberalization, a key driver of
growth, and emission levels in the East Asia region.
