Not telling everyone else what they should do (while not following their own advice), at least for now.
Not comparable most if not all of Asia is a developing region. Maybe the western allied oil and gas nations in the west Asia and Singapore, Korea and Japan in the east Asia could be qualified as developed nations the rest is still in development.

The only big example is China that puts resources in innovating their way into a carbon neutral economy in 2060 and making sure they peak at around 2030. That because the Chinese citizens demand a better environment and blue skies and their governments actually listens and creates plans.

China's doing some crazy stuff like shutting down factories by fiat but it's not necessarily better.
