The movement to reduce airline CO2 emissions has been gaining momentum as they try to stay ahead of environmental groups seeking heavier taxes on aviation travel.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the green groups attacking the airlines have accused the industry of being slow to act on climate change measures and have been planning protests for the global warming summit scheduled to take place in Denmark at the close of this year. The result of the announcement is expected to spur worldwide aircraft manufacturers into a frenzy to develop the next, \u201cnew\u201d green aircraft in order to help airlines meet the demands by 2050 with minimal increase in flight costs.<\/p>\n<p>The UN is expected to be implementing a global carbon scheme to help reduce aviation CO2 emissions by implementing a a tax which would force airlines to purchase permits for their CO2 emissions. Walsh stated that the cost of these new permits would amount to \u00a33 billion a year and would inevitably be passed on to the airlines\u2019 passengers. The EU commission has said that the new permits would see a price increase for passengers of \u00a38-9 per ticket for short commuter flights and as much as \u00a340 per ticket for longer flights.<\/p>\n<!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Major players in the airline industry are expected to put forward goals at the United Nations climate change meeting which will be held in New York City this week. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"jnews_post_split":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[137],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sectoral"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1151\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
