Setting Asia's Green Growth Agenda
By investing up to two-thirds of their billion dollar recovery packages in promoting environmental initiatives, Asian countries are well poised to lead a global "Green New Deal", developing clean technologies and generating new jobs in the process.
Given high expectations for massive infrastructure investments to reignite Asian economies, what is the potential for Asia's green agenda?
