Recommendation 30
30
Paragraph: 196
Jet Zero Strategy lacks direct policies to discourage flying, relying on indirect measures.
Conclusion
While the Jet Zero Strategy contains measures to influence consumers towards more sustainable choices, and includes carbon pricing measures which will have an indirect effect on demand, it does not include any policy instruments designed to discourage flying in favour of other modes of travel or of communication. Ministers appear confident that the package of measures in the Strategy can achieve the reductions in emissions required from UK aviation, with the residual emissions accounted for by negative emissions technologies.
