This book analyses the political, economic and managerial
challenges for policy makers and the air transport industry as they
face climate change. Based on an overview of the scientific
background and technological options for emissions reduction,
Aviation and Climate Change provides an in-depth assessment of
environmental regulation and management. It provides an
up-to-the-minute analysis of the effects of aviation on climate
change, and an economic analysis of policies to reduce or eliminate
greenhouse gas emissions. The main emphasis of the book is on the
economic mechanisms used to lessen emissions - carbon taxes,
emissions trading schemes and offset schemes. It pays particular
attention to the ways these policies work, and to the interaction
between them - for instance, the interaction between taxes and
emissions trading schemes. One feature of the book is that it
analyses the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for
International Aviation (CORSIA) which has been developed by ICAO
for international aviation, and which is due to commence operation
shortly. The advantages and disadvantages of this controversial
scheme are discussed. This book will be of interest to researchers
in diverse areas (economics, political science, engineering,
natural sciences), to air transport policy makers, and to managers
in the aviation industry.
