As more than half of the planet's CO2 is emitted in Asia-Pacific, there is no way around it: the region has to become a leader in the global fight against climate change, if we are to win it. This transition also presents one of the greatest investment opportunities of the coming decades. The region is the most vulnerable to desertification, flooding, and sea level rise, but also has most of the planet's people, megacities, and renewable energy capacity. The sky is the limit.This pivotal book explores the intersection of decarbonization, innovation, and Asia-Pacific. It provides a snapshot of initiatives by industry leaders and the public sector to reduce emissions. Through detailed technological analysis, case studies, and interviews of nine key industries, the authors highlight the emerging trends and commercial opportunities. The region must bring capital, technology, and policy together if we are to reach the most important milestone of this century: net zero by 2050.

A concise overview of Asia's concerns, aspirations, and responsibilities for the post-2012 global climate change agreement. It draws on contributions from experts in the region and around the world articulating the key issues related to encouraging Asia's meaningful participation in negotiating and implementing this agreement. The editors and authors also provide a series of specific recommendations for climate negotiators, policy-makers, and stake-holders regarding how to build cooperation within the region and between Asia and the West in developing an effective and equitable climate change solution. Key issues examined include overall principles, 'co-benefits' strategies, forests, food and water, equity, cities, energy efficiency, trade, markets, and international negotiations.
