ACI EUROPE position on Aviation & Climate Change

Responsible, constructive and pragmatic action needed to tackle the impact of aviation on climate change

The airports’ position highlights specific ways to address climate change within an open emissions trading scheme where airlines flying within the EU will be able to trade permits to cover CO2 impacts.

ACI EUROPE Position on Climate Change. Aviation should address its verified, total climate change impacts on a global level. An emissions trading scheme is the most appropriate mechanism to deal with CO2, the principal greenhouse gas.

This Communication is a basis for discussion with other European institutions and stakeholders on internalising the environmental costs of aviation emissions into the EU Emission Trading Scheme. While the aviation sector is confronted with the highest oil and fuel prices in history causing significant economic impacts for the airlines, a number of recent dramatic weather events in Europe and abroad give a reminder of the potentially huge costs associated with the increase in the frequency and severity of such events that climate change is expected to cause.
