Summary
This presentation discusses the relationship between aviation and climate change. It focuses on the major contemporary challenges and opportunities associated with aviation and climate change. There is a need to resolve spatial challenges, to accelerate the pace of technologically innovative solutions, for industry and individual travellers to make difficult decisions, to plan for greater climate change adaptation needs, and to deal with climate injustice.
