Environmental concern
about climate change,
gaseous emissions and noise is becoming an increasingly important political, economic and social
issue for aviation. Tackling the climate change issue is the latest major challenge
facing global aviation. The
need to address aviation’s contribution to climate change is on the agenda of
national and international policy makers. If
you were a policy-maker,
how would you regulate
aviation operations considering climate change?
In your response, you are advised to consider the various ways of environmental
regulation and elaborate on their efficiency, effectiveness and political
feasibility. The use of examples from aviation and/or other industries can support your
arguments.
