Paris and aviation
Aviation is responsible for an estimated 5% of global warming and its emissions are growing at 4-5% each year.
Unless action is taken, the sector risks undermining the Paris Agreement’s objective of limiting a temperature increase to 1.5 degrees. There are a number of measures that could be introduced at international and EU level which would reduce the climate impact of the sector, and these need to be pursued urgently by policy makers.
