Many mitigation activities, such as improvement of energy efficiency or adoption of renewable energy sources, serve important policy goals in addition to their climate benefits. This project explores the potential for creating a formal regional agreement to foster development and deployment of energy efficiency technologies. Multilateral and bilateral activities in this area to date are examined to draw lessons from both successes and failures. Looking to the future, focus are on bilateral and multilateral activities involving China and Japan, and to some degree also other East and South-east Asian nations. The recommedations and findings have been published in Sugiyama & Oshita (eds) (see under 'Publications' below).
