Add to basketThis book provides a comprehensive analysis of the interconnected challenges facing the Asian continent in the era of climate change. Structured in three parts, the book addresses the critical pathways toward a sustainable future.
Part I delves into the core mitigation strategy of carbon pricing, examining the design and effects of carbon taxes in Taiwan, the impact of internal carbon pricing within Japanese corporations, and the potential for regional cooperation through joint carbon markets among ASEAN, Japan, China, and South Korea. Part II broadens the scope to energy policy and sustainable development, exploring diverse topics from the rise of climate litigation in China and the complexities of international environmental agreements, to new frameworks for energy security in Vietnam and the tensions between industrialization and renewable energy in ASEAN. Part III focuses on climate resilience and adaptation, presenting empirical case studies on the human and environmental impacts of natural disasters. It investigates the mental health consequences of volcanic eruptions, the gendered dimensions of flooding in Indonesia, the economic valuation of habitat conservation in Taiwan, and strategies for mitigating typhoon losses in Vietnam.
Aimed at scholars, policymakers, and professionals in environmental economics and policy, this volume serves as a comprehensive guide to the evolving dynamics of Asia’s path toward a carbon-neutral and ecologically resilient future.
