During Session 8 on 27^th March "Smog and Health" , Qin Dahe(former administrator of China Meteorological Administration ) discussed the relationship between smog and climate change and the duration of time to solve smog.  To solve the smog problem, he believes it is too long to spend 30 years and impossible to take 3 years.  The duration of time depends on awareness of the society and the collaboration. 

He also points out that the government has a strong and firm stance in solving smog problem and changing the energy structure, for example the government is  negotiating with Russia and Bruma to build more natural gas pipelines. Another good news is that while there is a decrease in fossil fuel and coal consumption for the recent years, the economy of China is still increasing. Therefore, Mr. Qin is optimstic and believes that economic development and clearer air is compatible.
