Sinopsis

This book provides best practices forádecarbonizing cities in East Asia, in which buildings are the major contributor to carbon emissions. Beyond the globalácommitment through theáParis Agreement to make collective efforts on climate action andáaccelerated policies, investment and development at the country and city level to combat climate changeáare occurring at an unprecedented rate. Rapid urbanization and increasing energy demand for largeáand denseáAsianácities require smart and sustainable strategies to balance developmentáwith decarbonization.áA poly-centric approach is needed, where a combination of policy-, market- and technology-driven changes can aid the transition towards development of carbon neutral cities. With practical examples in the implementation of theáUnited Nations Sustainable Development Goals, green financing, climate action roadmap and policy,ádeployment of renewable energy, andálow- to zero-carbonábuildings, readers canáfindátheámotivation,á considerationsáand implementation pathwaysáto facilitateáthe transition into the new normal. It is the hope of the authors toáencourage readers to see successfulápathwaysáin transitioning into a carbon-free industryáand overcomingáthe effects of climate extremes.
