Is reducing demand for air travel the only way to curb aviations environmental impact?
GBD has identified operational and technological advances that could cut the climate change impact of aviation by 90% over the next 50 years without preventing people from flying – something that could only be achieved with a disproportionate impact on poorer travellers. These, coupled with an industry-Government agreement on targets, leading into emissions trading with a cap on pollution and costs being related to outputs, are clearly the most effective solution.
