Emissions invisible - The impact of excluding international aviation from the proposed climate bill

Climate change is an urgent threat to people throughout the world. It is the richest countries which make the greatest contribution to climate change. Therefore the richest countries must take the lead in combating climate change. The draft
bill is a welcome statement of intent by the UK government.
However, in addition to weak targets, the draft bill does not include all the ways in which the UK contributes to climate change. The targets do not include: CO2 emissions from the UK’s share of international aviation and shipping and Non CO2 emissions from aviation. This report demonstrates how those omissions undermine the effectiveness of the bill.
