TOKYO -- Japan is more likely to be identified by Southeast Asians as an international climate leader than the European Union and the U.S., a Singapore-based think tank has found.
The results were published this week in the annual Southeast Asia Climate Outlook Survey by the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. It asked 2,931 Southeast Asians to choose from among eight countries and regions -- Australia, China, the EU, India, Japan, South Korea, the U.K. and the U.S. -- the one that has most demonstrated leadership in helping the world meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. A ninth choice was "none of the above."
