This book examines the national approaches of carbon markets in Asia and industry perspectives of carbon market developments in ASEAN. It draws policy insights into developing a carbon market regime for those countries across ASEAN and Asia that intend to introduce a carbon market and also discusses ways of linking a country carbon market to a regional and global market. Apart from carbon market developments at national level, it elicits perspectives on implementing a carbon market for industries such as the textile, aviation and renewable energy industry and discusses challenges and opportunities of implementing a regional carbon market. This book offers a critical and comprehensive analysis of carbon market developments at national level in Asia and specific perspectives about carbon trading at industry level in ASEAN. By providing empirical findings of carbon markets in operation and policy insights, this book presents practical directions towards the implementation of carbon markets across ASEAN and Asia.
