Technical Summary
This project aims to identify and quantify the implications of Contraction and Convergence on the emissions and volume of UK air traffic. Contraction and Convergence is a policy approach to controlling global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, in which nations progress towards equal per capita emissions. The approach has been developed by the Global Commons Institute (GCI) and is endorsed by the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution (RCEP) in its 22nd report.
