Energy efficiency is high on the policy agenda in East Asia. How can we promote it most effectively? To answer this, Cooperative Climate
reviews existing energy efficiency policy and international cooperation
in East Asia. Drawing upon the rich lessons, an
environmentally-effective, politically-feasible and cost-effective
solution is proposed: an independent and dedicated Policy Development
Fund for energy efficiency.
Design issues and a wide range of concrete projects under the Fund are
discussed and future scenarios are considered. The authors conclude
that fostering effective regional cooperation on energy efficiency is
an important and practical way for East Asia to fight climate change.
