#1 Since 2012, the European Economic Commission implemented a cap and trade emissions trading system (ETS) in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from airlines. The legislation applied to all EU and non EU airlines flying with the EU and all international flights to and from and with the European Economic Area. The ETS was met with considerable opposition and was brought before the United Nations to settle the dispute. Read the information on the from the website European Union Climate Action Plan: Reducing Air Emissions from Aviation. http://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/transport/aviation/index_en.htm. Then select an aviation stakeholder group and present their position on the EU cap and trade Scheme. Title your post with the Stakeholder group and their positions. You will need to research and site additional sources to complete this assignment. Explain why you think their position is or is not justified. European Aviation Trade Association (high carbon emitters) European Airlines Low Carbon Fuel Association (think Virgin Atlantic Airlines) US Airline Trade Association European Commission on Climate Action Environmental Groups Opposed to Cap and Trade. ( Carbon Trade Watch) http://www.carbontradewatch.org/issues/cap-and-trade2.html #2 After having learned about strategies for controlling carbon, what do you think is the best role for government in controlling carbon? Would a carbon tax on emissions be most effective or a market based strategy such as cap and trade? Or should there be no government controls at all. Explain and support your answer. #Be sure to substantiate and support your ideas by citing your sources in APA format#
