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.

It is said on OECD (2012), “The distinction between the environment and health categories is not always obvious. In the classifications made here, the focus has been on whether or not an explicit reference to an environmental problem was made in the valuation-question posed to the sample. If that was not the case, the survey was classified as being “health-related”. So we believe that both categories are related to our research.
