The 1980s: The Rise of Environmental Awareness

The 1980s was a period of heightened environmental awareness around the world. The publication of the Brundtland Report in 1987, which popularized the concept of sustainable development, was a major turning point in global environmental policymaking. In Asia, the 1980s also saw the rise of a number of environmental NGOs, which played a key role in raising awareness of environmental issues and putting pressure on governments to take action.

The 1990s: The Era of Environmental Diplomacy

The 1990s was a period of intense environmental diplomacy, as governments around the world worked to negotiate international agreements on climate change, biodiversity, and other environmental issues. The 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro was a major milestone in global environmental governance, and it led to the adoption of a number of important environmental agreements, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Convention on Biological Diversity.

The 2000s: The Rise of China and India

The 2000s saw the rise of China and India as major economic powers. This had a significant impact on environmental policymaking in Asia, as both countries became major sources of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The 2000s also saw the emergence of a number of new environmental challenges, such as climate change, water scarcity, and air pollution.

The 2010s: The Age of Sustainable Development

The 2010s was a period of growing recognition of the need for sustainable development. The adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 was a major milestone in global sustainable development policymaking. The SDGs set out a number of ambitious targets for sustainable development, including targets on poverty reduction, climate change mitigation, and environmental protection.

The 2020s: The Future of Environmental Policy in Asia

The 2020s is a critical decade for environmental policymaking in Asia. The world is facing a number of major environmental challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and air pollution. The 2020s will be a decisive decade for tackling these challenges and building a more sustainable future for Asia.

The development of environmental policies in Asia from the 1980s to 2024 has been a complex and dynamic process. The book argues that the development of environmental policies in Asia has been shaped by a complex interplay of global and local factors, and that the role of international organizations, NGOs, and local communities has been crucial in shaping the outcomes of environmental policymaking.
