intellectually stimulating. The book also provides several future research paths. However, on the first pick, the title ‘Ways to achieve green Asia’ may be a little misleading, though trade is a major cause of environmental degradation and should be addressed to achieve green Asia. While the relationship between trade and environment is relatively understood, it would have been more interesting had one of the chapters delved into the equity and inclusion issues in trade, environment and climate change. Similarly, along with climate change, other international commitments, like the Sustainable Development Goals and Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, that reflect social dimensions must have been included. Besides, the chapters are silent on the quantification of direct benefit transfer to the community in terms of technology or finance. The book is eclectic in its approach but must be viewed regarding trade and the environment only.
