“This book makes a convincing case for why the East Asia and Pacific region needs to pursue more cooperative approaches to climate action and why the more powerful countries in the region should pursue new approaches to climate leadership.”Miranda Schreurs, Professor of Environment and Climate Policy, Technical University of Munich, Germany“East Asia and the Pacific are on the front lines of climate change, while regional responses will be crucial for global efforts to address the climate crisis. This important new book examines these dynamics, pointing to challenges and pathways for the emergence of a distinct form of regional climate leadership.”Matt McDonald, Professor of Political Science and International Studies, University of Queensland, Australia
