The region is home to two of the world’s biggest emitters and, at the same time, it is where a significant number of the most climate-change vulnerable countries are located. And, while Asia made commitments at COP26, it is facing challenges to turn these promises into reality. The region, however, is also a global leader in renewable energy harnessing the power of technology to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change. What has Asia achieved in the past year, and how can it overcome current transition hurdles? What developments have been made in Asia’s technology ecosystem that support the transition? How are regulators and policymakers contributing to the net-zero transition? What can Asia expect from COP27?
