Asia is the fastest growing and the most populous region in the world at present. This book reviews GHG emissions in cumulative and absolute terms and the steps taken by these economies to adapt to the climate change. This study suggests policy recommendations and a strategic framework for low-carbon green growth policies. This study has also been carried out in cooperation with 23 think tanks and researchers, including policy makers, private sector representatives, international organisations and related institutes contributing to the papers and chapters. The book shows clearly how long-term policy planning, stronger regional cooperation, and scaling up of financing for low-carbon green growth initiatives are necessary for a better tomorrow.
