The Economics of the Net-Zero Transition: Policy scenarios and the role of trade and cooperation

This publication presents a data-driven roadmap for how Asia and the Pacific can reach net zero by 2050 through trade, green technologies and international cooperation. 

It shows that while the transition will be challenging, the economic costs are manageable. Stronger trade ties and green investment can help unlock the opportunities of decarbonization. 

Trade emerges as a key part of the solution by spreading green technologies, supporting new industries, and fostering cooperation across the region.
