ABSTRACT
In our closing remarks, we clarify the current state of understanding and direction of policies regarding three issues – the decarbonization of the power generation sector (Part 1 of this book), low-carbon technological diffusion across the economy (Part 2), and resource conservation and air pollution from PM emissions (Part 3). Our summary is based on insights drawn from the investigations presented in this book. Each of the individual chapters in this book has used advanced modelling techniques to assess the effects of potential policies to improve sustainability in East Asia. In the final chapter, we consolidate the key findings from the individual chapters. We make a set of recommendations for future policy in the East Asian region. We also reflect on the modelling that was carried out and how it may compare with similar exercises using different approaches.
