Recommendation 23
23
Paragraph: 158
Requiring airlines to price emissions through trading schemes is a constructive mechanism.
Conclusion
Requiring airlines to set a price on their emissions, and purchase credits for these emissions through a trading scheme, can be a constructive mechanism to ensure that the carbon cost of aviation is more adequately reflected in the cost to the consumer. This in itself may influence consumer demand for flights, depending on the availability and cost of the necessary carbon credits. Sustainable Aviation has categorised market-based measures as demand management mechanisms.
