En ny rapport fra WWF påviser, at det er teknisk og økonomisk muligt at regulere udledningerne fra luftfarten, som er en af de hurtigst voksende kilder til CO2 udledninger. Det kræver dog en del politisk vilje og mod at etablere en global aftale og mekanisme til det formål.
Men det vil gøre det nemmere for branchen at gennemskule reguleringen og det vil være en effektiv måde at afhjælpe klimaforandringerne.
GLAND, 29 January 2013: A global system to regulate runaway (løbske) greenhouse gas emissions from aviation is technically and economically feasible (gennemførlig) and could help address climate change, according to a new WWF report.
The report comes ahead of a critical meeting of the High Level Group established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal this week, where governments will attempt to revive a decade-long effort to address aviation emissions.

Aviation is the most emission-intensive form of transport on the planet and, together with shipping, is the fastest growing source of carbon emissions contributing to climate instability and extreme weather.
Aviation Report: Market Based mechanisms to curb greenhouse gas emissions from international aviation outlines four options, and weighs their pros and cons, to develop a global system to regulate emissions from aircraft.
These include offsetting, offsetting with a revenue generating mechanism, a cap and trade emissions trading system (fastsættelse af en overordnet begrænsning på udledningen og handel med kvoter), and a levy (afgift) with offsetting.
The report finds that the latter three options can both cut pollution at the least cost to industry, and also generate funds that could be used to support global efforts to address climate change, while maintaining a feasible between airlines.
