Where We Work

Asia

Asia map showing regions where ICCT is active.

Asia is home to the world's fastest growing economies and vehicle markets. China and India in particular are motorizing their transportation systems so quickly that even large efficiency improvements could be canceled out by the increasing number of vehicles on the road. ICCT works with governments in the region to reduce emissions of both air toxics and greenhouse gases.

Transportation in Asia is fantastically diverse. Countries like Japan and South Korea have established automobile industries and a long history of air quality regulation. Meanwhile, fast-growing nations like China and India are quickly developing both auto industries and regulations to limit hazardous air pollution from vehicles. The region is also of great importance in the international effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. Throughout the continent, the abundance of two- and three-wheeled vehicles presents a special challenge to regulating air quality.
