Karsten Krause, Policy Officer
European Federation for Transport and Environment
Air transport is one of the fastest growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
The impact of climate change has been estimated as 3,5 percent of the emissions
in 1992. These are twice the emissions of a country like France or Australia.
The aviation emissions will grow until 2050 between factor 2,6 and factor 11.
Currently there are no emission reduction objectives that could reduce the forecasted
growth. The presentation will be covering the impact on climate change and ways
towards a more sustainable aviation. Important for any progress is depending
on the interaction between the UNFCCC, the ICAO(International Civil Aviation
Organisation) and, in particular the European Union. The presentation will highlight
the need for further action.
