The Asia-Pacific region refers to the region south of the Asian and Pacific ocean currents. The region includes some countries in the Asian continent, Southeast Asia, South Pacific island countries, Australia, New Zealand and other countries. The Asia-Pacific region has beautiful coastlines, majestic mountains and vast plains, and is one of the most diverse regions in the world. Countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region not only have a long history and cultural heritage, but also actively develop advanced science and technology, modern industry and economic systems.

Since the 20th century, the Asia-Pacific region has continuously promoted economic development, and the economic aggregate and per capita income have been rising. Among them, the rapid economic rise of China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other countries has provided a strong impetus for the economic development of the entire Asia-Pacific region. In addition, economic cooperation and free trade area construction in the Asia-Pacific region have also accelerated the development of the whole region. The establishment of regional cooperation mechanisms such as Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) has played a positive role in promoting regional economic cooperation and development.

With the rapid economic development in the Asia-Pacific region, it has also brought various environmental problems and pressures. The first is air pollution and water shortage. In rapidly developing countries such as China and India, energy consumption and emissions are increasing rapidly, which leads to air pollution and climate change. At the same time, due to the different climatic zones and topographic conditions, the supply and demand of water resources in the Asia-Pacific region are also very different and there is a great imbalance. In addition, deforestation, marine pollution, biodiversity decline and other issues have also attracted the attention of Asia-Pacific countries and regions, and all parties are actively looking for environmental protection solutions.
