Travel and Climate Change

• Airline industry has been highlighted as a
  significant contributor to climate change
• A 1999 estimate accounted for 2 of global CO2
  emissions in 1992. But it would rise to as much
  as 15 by 2050
• 2 forms of pollution
• CO2 emissions and
• water vapour acting as clouds create warming
  effect
• Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

4
Mitigation Options

• Avoidance is the best strategy, but not always
  practical
• Reduce where possible and offset remaining
  emissions
• Mitigation through provision of carbon offsets

5
Carbon Offsets

• Climate change is a global issue not restricted
  by geographic boundaries environmental impact
  can be negated by projects in other regions
• Project based initiatives to avoid/minimise
  (energy efficiency) or sequestration (trees)
• Avoid pitfalls by purchasing accredited products
• Greenhouse Friendly (AGO)
• NGACs (GGAS)

6
Trends Encountered

• Organisations are taking voluntary action
• 3 step process Measure, Reduce and Offset

Annual Review

Carbon Management Cycle

• Measure
• Car Fleet
• Stationary Fuel (Electricity and gas Consumption)
• Business Related Travel
• Reduce where possible without jeopardising
  business operations
• Offset Neutralise remainder of emissions

8
Opportunities

• CO2 emissions calculation and reporting
• Offset inclusive pricing
• Engage supply chain in greening options
