This book is the second in the Asian Environment Outlook (AEO) series published by ADB. It centers on the critical missing ingredient in the pursuit of a sustainable future for Asia and the Pacific—that of a fully engaged private sector. AEO 2005 highlights the private sector’s role in solving the unprecedented environmental strains facing our region and examines the emerging global pressures—and opportunities—for improved environmental performance. It provides insights and advice on how governments, economic and environmental authorities, and others in the development community can collaborate with the private sector to balance regulatory control with market instruments, help create new business opportunities, and achieve sustainable development.
