Air Transport and the EnvironmentBen Daley, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), UK
This is a thorough and very readable review ofthe environmental and social impacts of aviation,as both the industry and policymakers struggleto reconcile aviation growth with environmentallimits. For those wanting a concise but detailedunderstanding of the issues and literature, thisbook is a very good place to start.
Paul Upham, University of Manchester, UK
Ben Daleys book provides a comprehensive,readable and balanced introduction to thecomplex field of aviation and the environment.It argues that swift and radical change will beneeded to achieve sustainable development in thesector, for which trade-offs between environmentaland economic concerns will have to be accepted.The book deserves to be widely read by policy-makers and all those interested in measurable
progress on these matters.
Air Transport and the Environment provides anoverview of the main issues relating to aviationenvironmental impacts. It explains the challengefacing policymakers in terms of sustainabledevelopment, focusing on the importance and environmental costs and benefits, both forpeople living now and for future generations.Individual chapters review the current scientificunderstanding of the main aviation environmental
impacts: climate change, local air pollution andaircraft noise. Various responses to those issuesare also considered, including a range of policy voluntary approaches. Key concepts such asenvironmental capacity, radiative forcing andcarbon offsetting are explained. In addition, thebook emphasises the main implications of aviationenvironmental issues for policymakers and forthe management of the air transport industry.
Debates about the environmental impacts reactions, yet this book adopts a constructiveapproach to the subject and attempts to present
the environmental issues in a clear, straightforward synthesis of a wide range of perspectives rather the central purpose of this book is to bring thesustainable development challenge facing theair transport industry to the fore, and so to informeffective policy responses. Air transport playsa critical role in supporting economies andsocieties that are increasingly interconnected the vital economic and social benefits of the airtransport industry should not be lost and infact could be distributed far more widely andequitably but that the environmental impacts
of air transport nevertheless require urgentand effective management.
Given the highly charged debates surroundingaviations environmental impacts, and theirconsequences for public policy, no publicationcurrently available covers the issues adequately.Ben Daleys book more than fills this gap. Inlucid and uncompromising terms, he spells outthe impacts objectively and convincingly, withclimate change, air quality, noise and sustainabledevelopment receiving extended treatment. Thisis thought provoking and challenging materialthat demands our attention.
Sustainable development is a formidablechallenge for aviation. Air Transport and thepresents the scope of this challengewithin a scientifically-comprehensive, criticaland thought-provoking analysis
