Asia,　particularly　China,　has　been　a　story　of　rapid　economic　growth,　rising　to　a　prominent　position　in　the　global　economy.　Continued　rapid　growth　suggests　that　Asia　will　be　a　source　of　substantial　future　greenhouse　gas　(GHG)　emissions　as　well.　Despite　modest　declines　in　emissions　in　industrialized　countries,　such　as　the　United　States　and　the　European　Union　(EU),　global　emissions　will　not　come　close　to　meeting　the　Paris　targets　without　substantial　mitigation　actions　in　Asian　areas.　In　this　regard,　we　initiated　this　topical　issue　and　tried　to　study　how　Asia　can　contribute　to　the　global　effort　to　meet　the　1.5　degrees　C　and　2　degrees　C　targets,　from　both　national　and　industrial　levels.　The　papers　accepted　bring　insightful　understandings　and　fresh　perspectives　to　policy　making　and　climate　governance　in　Asian　economies.　We　believe　that　these　studies　well　contribute　to　the　extant　literature　on　both　climate　economic　methodologies　and　regional　climate　policy　research.
