Summary

Any plausible solution to the world’s growing climate crisis will need to take root in the Asia Pacific region. With Asia holding 54 per cent of the world’s projected 2050 population and 41 per cent of its projected 2040 energy use, a policy response to climate change that does not include a major role for Asia and does not give voice to the region’s governments and citizens would be wholly incapable of achieving the kind of decarbonization that scientists agree is necessary to avert climate catastrophe.
