The Australian Division has released a new position paper on the Aviation Emissions and Climate Change prepared by Andrew Drysdale, Robin Stanier and Brad Wheatley and approved by the Division Council Meeting in August 2009.
The Society maintains a keen interest and high level of scientific knowledge in matters pertaining to research into, and management of, aviation emissions. This paper states the position of, and proposes actions for, the RAeS Australian Division (AD) on aviation emissions and climate change. Australia’s unique position in the global and regional aviation community provides an opportunity to act decisively and to lead efforts to lessen the effect of aviation on the environment and to contribute to resolving what is a global problem. There are economic and political benefits arising directly from such action.
