The places, landscapes and environments that we love to fly to and visit are being compromised and degraded by climate change. Some landing areas and airports will also be impacted directly through sea level rise. Aircraft performance will also be affected by increasing temperatures. A carbon price and/or emissions trading scheme, is the most efficient way to incentivise the market to reduce emissions. This would allow sectors that currently lack emissions reduction technology to benefit from sectors with a greater capacity to reduce emissions. Examples might include aviation purchasing permits from agriculture allowing this sector to increase investment in soil carbon or aviation purchasing permits that may help to support the accelerated retirement of coal-fired power stations.
