About this book
Placing the Asian economies onto a low-carbon development pathway requires an unprecedented shift in investments. This book addresses this situation by asking questions such as:
• What is the central role of private finance in achieving the Paris Agreement targets?
• What key policy levers and risk mitigation can governments use in an effort to unlock the potentials of private capital?
• How can regionally coordinated actions hold significant promise for scaling up private investments?
