In fact, the conflict has increased carbon dioxide emissions in developing and advanced economies alike.
Resource nationalism can impede energy cooperation in Southeast Asia. Asean can use a mix of carrots and sticks to deal with it.
Both Beijing and New Delhi have shown a willingness to re-engage, but they must address critical areas of concern before moving forward.
