Abstract: Asia, particularly China, has been a story of rapid economic growth, rising to a prominent position in the global economy. Continued rapid growth suggests that Asia will be a source of substantial future greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well. Despite modest declines in emissions in industrialized countries, such as the United States and the European Union (EU), global emissions will not come close to meeting the Paris targets without substantial mitigation actions in Asian areas. In this regard, we initiated this topical issue and tried to study how Asia can contribute to the global effort to meet the 1.5∘C and 2∘C targets, from both national and industrial levels. The papers accepted bring insightful understandings and fresh perspectives to policy making and climate governance in Asian economies. We believe that these studies well contribute to the extant literature on both climate economic methodologies and regional climate policy research.
