Towards True Climate Neutrality for Global Aviation: A Negative Emissions Fund for Airlines
Presented by Sascha Nick I Researcher I LEURE, EPFL

What would it take for aviation to reach the IATA and ICAO goals and become truly climate-neutral by 2050? We model how flight CO2 emissions can be reduced by 90% by 2050, to a level where residual emissions can be removed without crowding out other sectors. To make emitters pay for carbon removal, we propose a negative emissions fund for airlines (NEFA), investing in high-quality carbon removal projects designed for biodiversity and societal co-benefits.

Degrowing the airline industry – a cultural challenge
Presented by Guido Palazzo I Professor I FBE, UNIL

There is one very irritating aspect of the ecological crisis: For many problems, technological solutions already exist and have been clearly elaborated. However, still not much is happening. Solutions often clash with deeply routinized values and routines. Flying is one of those practices that is so well enmeshed in our way of life that imagining a beyond is unthinkable for many.
