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.

This book makes a timely contribution to understanding perceptions
on national identity and National Education, with both of them have
become controversial topics in Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region (SAR) of China. In a so-called globalization era, national
identity and National Education, with the latter having an aim of
fostering a Chinese national identity in education, have been
significantly pushed ahead by the Hong Kong SAR government since
the early 2000s as a response to the return of sovereignty to China
in 1997. Teacher perception matters to what they select and how
they teach in the schools. By incorporating fieldworks of teacher
interviews, observation and documentary analysis, this book argues
for a multi-layered conception of identity, different aims,
contents and diversified methods of National Education should be
recognized. This book is likely to become a useful account of
teacher perception on national identity and National Education in
citizenship education literature, and it will be relevant to
policymakers, teachers, trainers and researchers. Chapters include,
1. Different meanings of national identity of teachers and aims,
contents and methods of National Education 2. From Citizenship
Education to National Education in a Chinese society 3.
Implications for understanding National Education in a
globalization era: mixed identification, multi-layered identities,
knowledge transmission, and 'global identity'
