How the region’s populations view decarbonisation as the energy transition occurs can inform stronger leadership and better policymaking at the elite level.
It is risky to assume the many high-level standard-setting initiatives today can provide blanket improvements. Asian businesses all have a part to play to create a trusted carbon market that benefits climate, nature and stakeholders.
Consumers including millennials choose carefully, increasingly aware of deceptive environmental claims by businesses.
