ABSTRACT
This chapter begins with a simple theoretical framework for identifying cost-effective regulatory and non-regulatory policies for cleaner shared industrial growth. It identifies the policies for overcoming the historically unique sustainability challenge. The chapter examines the role of regulatory policies in cleaner shared growth. It focuses on the specific industrial, investment promotion, technology and economy-wide policies most likely to contribute to cleaner share industrial growth. In the context of the developing market economies of East Asia, dematerialisation and pollution prevention effects that 'pay' might well represent declines in intensity of energy, water and materials use associated with new investment. Environmental protection agencies can also take responsibility for monitoring and reporting ambient conditions and changes in those conditions. Reliable information on ambient conditions and changes in them can be an important way for these agencies to generate public and political support for pollution control.
