Climate Change and Air Pollution in East Asia: Taking Transboundary Air Pollution into Account

Abstract

Co-benefit and co-control of SLCPs is the key concept to tackle simultaneously with problems of transboundary air pollution and climate change. Especially in East Asia, severe air pollution causing millions of premature mortality by PM2.5 and ozone should be solved without delay as well as mitigation of global warming. Cost-benefit approach discussed in this chapter is one of the most effective and rational way to lead the feasible and appropriate policy for the challenge we need to do.
