Abstract

High levels of air pollution are causing health problems, premature deaths, crop losses, productivity losses, and a number of other challenges. Over the past few years, Beijing, China, has struggled with high concentrations of PM2.5, extremely fine particles that have caused significant economic loss. This paper evaluates the economic loss Beijing has suffered from air pollution, specifically its impact on health, productivity, and trade potential. Policies that target PM2.5 reduction through incentivizing solar energy use, green space, urban tree canopy, green energy entrepreneurship, and marketing a sustainable business strategy are proposed as solutions to air pollution in Beijing.
