Home to the world's largest share of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the region also leads in investment in renewable technologies and low-carbon infrastructure. \u003ci\u003eDecarbonizing East Asia\u003c\/i\u003e provides the most comprehensive comparative account of how China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are reshaping their energy systems in response to the climate crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough interdisciplinary and detailed case studies, the volume examines the policies, technologies, and political conflicts shaping the region's transition away from fossil fuels.
