This policy brief provides an overview of national climate change policies (2 types: tax-like policies and subsidy-like policies) that are implemented or planned in selected Asian and Pacific countries. Furthermore, it highlights the extent to which trade policymakers should be concerned, and the possible and appropriate policy reactions. The brief also questions whether the suggested climate change policies can potentially result in enhanced trade in particular markets and products. Thus, challenges and opportunities for trade policymakers are also laid out.
