A subject that is inexplicably little studied at present, or indeed not at all, is that of the quest for possible applications and feasible objectives in the energy requalification of existing buildings, existing or planned open spaces, old city centres and the monumental and diffuse cultural heritage. At the present time it is crucial that the issues, research and techniques linked to the possibilities of an aware use of energy are applied to the old city centres and the existing heritage. This must start from a knowledge and investigation of the traditional building materials and techniques, which are in themselves inherently sustainable (comprising both the ancient city and the consolidated modern city and their historic stratifications). The historic environment indeed represents an infinite cultural and environmental resource and a very high percentage of the global architectural heritage.

This publication explores climate-smart trade and investment strategies in Asia and the Pacific, aiming for a triple-win outcome that benefits trade, investment, and climate objectives. Compiled by experts under the guidance of Ravi Ratnayake, it serves as a supplement to the Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Report 2011. The study analyzes the linkages between trade, investment, and greenhouse gas emissions, providing evidence from the region and projecting future scenarios. It highlights trends and opportunities in climate-smart goods and technologies, with a focus on renewable energy. The book advocates for cohesive climate-smart policies, including trade liberalization, foreign direct investment, and financial instruments. It addresses the development of national and international standards and the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in promoting climate-smart practices. Intended for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders in sustainable development, it emphasizes regional cooperation and strategic policy frameworks.
