As the climate crisis worsens, governments around the world are calling for carbon-neutral societies and urging individuals to take responsibility for their climate-related behavior. However, despite growing awareness of the urgent need for climate action, meaningful change remains limited at the governmental and individual levels.This book presents bold and innovative approaches to addressing climate change, from social visions and sustainable business models to transformative shifts in environmental policy, law, and markets aimed at driving global progress toward net-zero emissions.The book covers topics ranging from everyday choices, such as meat consumption, to major systemic changes, such as the adoption of renewable energy. It offers a comprehensive look at how individuals, businesses, and governments can disrupt the current inertia surrounding climate behavior.By analyzing the cultural, economic, and political forces that shape environmental outcomes, the book provides a clear roadmap to carbon neutrality. It is a valuable resource for climate researchers, sustainability practitioners, and policymakers, while also inspiring engineers and technology developers to create the tools needed for a greener, more sustainable future.This is an open access book.

The rapid pace of economic development and urbanization in Asia have led to several major problems such as greenhouse gas emissions, mass consumption, and depletion of natural resources. These problems pose a major threat to a sustainable future for Asia and are hindering many Asian countries' goal of becoming carbon-neutral by the middle of this century. Solving these problems requires a comprehensive understanding of the nature of energy consumption, exploitation of natural resources, and deterioration of the environment.To accelerate the green energy transition and promote efficient resource use in Asia, a range of policy options and joint efforts among Asian countries will be required, including carbon pricing, resource tax reform, the expansion of transition finance, support for the development of low-carbon, and resource-efficient social infrastructure. However, Asia is home to many countries, each in a different stage of economic development and with its own culture and customs. Practical implementation of these policies will require bringing together researchers, policymakers, and citizens to share their knowledge and engage in discussions to generate policy ideas that are appropriate for each country. The purpose of this book is to share theoretical and empirical knowledge and convey policy implications that can be expected to accelerate energy transition and resource use effectiveness toward a sustainable future in Asia.
