This report provides a forward-looking assessment of how APEC economies can strengthen their pathways toward carbon neutrality. Using foresight methodologies, it identifies emerging signals that may accelerate, disrupt, or reshape regional decarbonization efforts. Key issues include carbon markets, hydrogen development, battery recycling, food and water security, integrated MRV-data platforms, worker reskilling, energy pricing risks, and climate-related health challenges. Drawing on literature review, horizon scanning, expert surveys, and a regional foresight workshop in Bangkok, the report translates emerging signals into practical policy intelligence. It offers valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners seeking to enhance low-carbon transformation, regional cooperation, climate governance, just transition planning, and long-term resilience across the Asia-Pacific region.
