Asia
Asia's continuous advancements have led to, "Economic growth in Asia has increased in the past three decades and has heightened energy demand, resulting in rising greenhouse gas emissions and severe air pollution. To tackle these issues, fuel switching and the deployment of renewables are essential." However, as countries continue to advance it leads to more pollution being emitted as a result as more energy is being used for different purposes as there's become a huge need for it which has led to the environment being put aside instead of being made a priority. This is especially true when taking into consideration how as the economy continues to flourish the market grows substantially which causes a demand for energy leading to higher contamination within the environment as a result. In recent years, the biggest concern for Asia is its "...air pollution issues. Major Chinese cities such as Beijing have received the worst air quality rankings (Li et al., 2017). Seoul, the capital of South Korea, also suffers from air pollution (Kim et al., 2017). Currently, Indian cities such as Mumbai and Delhi are overtaking Chinese cities in the ranking of worst air quality. In 2019, 21 of the world's 30 cities with the worst air quality were in India.1." The air quality has become so deteriorated within Asia due to the high pollution several countries in Asia emit which only lowers the air quality of the region. The article suggests how carbon pricing is the most effective way in combating carbon emissions in theory and that it should be implemented within every region in Asia to create a global effort.

Central Asia
In Central Asia there are multiple problems when it comes to the environment including, "...the loss of biodiversity and the complexity of the network of protected natural areas; insufficient levels of municipal solid waste processing; energy efficiency problems, in particular, the deterioration of the energy production and supply system; the imbalance between hydropower, irrigated agriculture and the environment; and problems of the Aral Sea." This is a detrimental problem as the environment is becoming negatively impacted by the various sources of contamination which can lead to a hazardous future for the environment. The more problems that continue to build up, the more life and habitation that is being lost from these detrimental sources. It has become an increasingly scarier problem for Central Asia as the region continues to develop and advance. According to Shestak and Pobedinsky, there are ways to solve the environmental crisis happening in Central Asia like adding certain rules to legislation, creating more enforced laws for the government to uphold, and improving management over the decisions involved with the environment. Implementing certain regulations for the environment will create a space for more environmentally friendly discussions that will create more urgency to improve the environment.

China
According to Shen, Li, Wang, and Liao, the emission trading system that China had used for its environmentally friendly journey was implemented in certain districts and was successful in comparison to those which were used in test districts that were approved by the government. This shows how China tried to effectively introduce new innovative systems to impact the environment. China implemented multiple ways to combat environmental problems even if they didn't succeed at first. It led to them implementing a more successful process which benefited the environment. Although China needs to implement policies like, "The “fee-to-tax” process should be accelerated, however, and the design and implementation of the environmental tax system should be improved. This would form a positive incentive mechanism in which a low level of pollution correlates with a low level of tax." By implementing policies like these companies have a higher incentive to not over pollute the environment and instead focus on creating an eco-friendlier environment for their workplaces. An incentive is thus created to improve China's pollution levels across the area.
