Climate Change and Aviation Issues, Challenges and Solutions
Trends such as the massive growth in availability of air travel and air freight are among those which have led to aviation becoming one of the fastest growing emitters of greenhouse gases. These trends have also caused a shift in expectations of how we do business, where we go on holiday, and what food and goods we can buy. For these reasons aviation is (and is set to stay) high up on global political, organizational and media agendas.
This textbook provides a comprehensive review of the topic, bringing together an international team of leading scientists. Starting with the science of the environmental issues, it moves on to cover drivers and trends of growth, socio-economics and politics, as well as mitigation options, the result being a broad yet detailed examination of the field.
This is the first textbook to focus on the burning issue of aviation's contribution to climate change. It gives a rounded coverage taking in the science, drivers, socio-economics and politics, and examining possibilities for mitigation.
