Aviation and Climate Change (eBook, PDF)

Economic Perspectives on Greenhouse Gas Reduction Policies

Redaktion: Fichert, Frank; Niemeier, Hans-Martin; Forsyth, Peter

Beschreibung

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.

Rezensionen

"Climate Change is an existential threat to the way aviation does business. Change is needed, but needed more is sensible, evidence-based, thoughtful analysis of what happens next. This book starts that process." - Andrew Charlton, Managing Director, Aviation Advocacy, Switzerland

"Aviation has proven to be one of the most difficult sectors to include in climate change policies. This volume brings together some of the most eminent thinkers on measures to address climate impacts of aviation. It is a very useful reference for policy makers, academics, NGOs and anybody interested in the issue." - Jasper Faber, Aviation and maritime specialist, manager Mobility &

Transport, CE Delft, Netherlands

"Excellent! Robust, compelling arguments and thought-provoking conclusions.

This book provides a well-researched comprehensive and holistic overview of all aspects pertaining to THE most important driver of aviation in the years to come. The Corona crisis will undeniably impact the size and possibly structure of the aviation market; but that makes this book even more relevant. Irrespective of how aviation will overcome the Corona crisis, the sector will only become more resilient if appropriate measures are taken to enforce its sustainability. This will require innovation, interoperable technology and vision. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, I strongly recommend this book as orientation for decision makers in the public and private sector." - Ulrich Schulte-Strathaus, Managing Director at Aviation Strategy & Concepts, former Secretary General of the Association of European Airlines
