Private aviation is making a growing contribution to climate change
S. Gössling, A. Humpe, et al.
This research, conducted by Stefan Gössling, Andreas Humpe, and Jorge Cardoso Leitão, highlights the alarming rise of CO₂ emissions from private aviation, which surged by 46% from 2019 to 2023, contributing at least 15.6 Mt CO₂ in direct emissions this year. The authors stress the need for regulatory measures to mitigate the sector's growing climate impact, especially as private flights predominantly cater to leisure in the USA.
