This book defines regional climate leadership in East Asia and the Pacific as a novel addition to the climate leadership theory. It develops criteria for measuring such leadership on a country basis and uses these for assessing the efforts of developed, lesser-developed, and developing countries within these regions.The book suggests that regional climate leadership consists of leading domestic actions, leading actions within the region, leading actions that are regionally coordinated, and leading actions on a differentiated basis between countries with greater and lesser capacity, and with neighbourly intent. The book is policy and climate solutions-focused, and identifies opportunities for lesson learning and policy transfer for more effective mitigation and adaptation. These solutions take into account the widely varying and complex geographical, political, and institutional circumstances of the region.It is intended for a broad readership of climate policy actors, including policy professionals, academics, non-government researchers, and all who are looking for climate leadership solutions to the problems of accelerating climate impact in East Asia and the Pacific.

“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
