Abstract

More and more governments of Asia countries are seriously increasing priority level of environmental regulations in past two decades, especially in recent years. In most countries’ national legislations and institutions have reduced the use of ozone-depleting substances, slowed losses of forest cover and reduced air pollution, and particularly in some newly developed mega-city areas in coastal regions. These developments reflect significant improvements in environmental performance at national and regional scales, particularly with respect to pollution control.
