The Greening of Asia

Preeti Dawra:
Thought-provoking.

Victor Mallet:
Clifford is an astute analyst of the financial dilemmas at Asian companies that are either in "green" businesses or have visionary owners, as at Esquel and CLP, who want to adopt environmentally sustainable policies

Jean Chua:
The Greening of Asia is an easy read and is filled with anecdotes that make the stories come alive. They range from the humorous and light-hearted to the sobering to the downright horrifying, and serve as a reminder that the region is complex, multi-faceted and needs solutions that are as diverse.

it is refreshing to see a clear-headed argument... that markets and greenery can go together. Asian companies, he says, are ready to clean up.

Doug Ogden:
With wisdom and insights sprinkled throughout, The Greening of Asia demonstrates that innovation and a core commitment to sustainability are beginning to build a greener prosperity in the world's fastest growing region.... A well-researched, hopeful book.

Elizabeth C. Economy:
Picking up a copy of Mark Clifford's new book… is a good way to start the New Year…. [it] is a terrific reminder that innovation and a core commitment to sustainability can push change in transformative ways. That gives us all something to celebrate in 2015.

Joseph E. Stiglitz, Nobel Laureate in Economics:
In this well-researched and ultimately optimistic account, Mark L. Clifford makes the case that environmental policies 'can and must be fixed' and gives us examples of companies that have worked to find private-sector solutions. In doing so, he sheds much-needed light on the workings and future of the region's efforts on the environment and on the need for governments to set clear rules so that business can do its part to solve the region's environmental crisis.
