This series of 11 country reports and a summary report are based on the Study of Least-Cost Greenhouse Abatement for Asia (ALGAS), the largest technical assistance project ever undertaken by ADB.
Each country report presents
- the country findings and conclusions, including the national inventories of greenhouse gas (GHG) sources and sinks for 1990 and projections for 2020
- least-cost abatement strategies
- national GHG abatement action plans
- a portfolio of technical assistance and GHG abatement investment projects
$35 per copy/$350 for the set of 12 (paperback)
