NO This policy brief examines the context, opportunities and challenges of trading environmentally sound technologies within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Utilizing data analysis and a specific Malaysian case study, it explores how trade liberalisation can drive sustainable development and climate resilience. The text reveals that intra-regional trade remains low compared to global commerce, hindered primarily by non-tariff barriers, policy inconsistencies and substantial investment gaps despite dropping tariffs.
