Asia
Asia is the world’s fastest growing and most economically dynamic region. It is home to half of the world’s population and over half of the world’s energy consumption. Concurrently, it also means that Asia is home to some of the world’s largest total greenhouse gas emissions. The region and its robustly growing economies walk a knife-edge between continuing to foster fundamental growth while mitigating the risks that spiralling prices have on economically sensitive markets.
