Deal on Aviation Emissions

For the semester project our group discussed many different options. One that interested all of us was the possibility of studying aviation emissions. This idea is very interesting because aviation emissions are the fastest growing cause of greenhouse gases that are responsible for climate change. This article talks about the first binding agreement that was agreed upon that covers aviation emissions. However this article points out that the goals set in this agreement don’t set the bar high enough, as many of the major airline companies are already producing planes that meet this standard. This problem will only continue to grow as aviation emissions rise globally due to the increase in air travel consistently over the years. Our group is interested in studying how polices and airplane design can help aviation emissions become less of a problem in the ever increasing concern over climate change.
