Aviation emissions from 2016 to 2050 could consume between 12% and 27% of the remaining carbon budget to keep global temperature rise below 1.5C above preindustrial levels. Consequently, aviation is being challenged to immediately start to reduce its in-sector emissions, then sharply reduce its CO 2 emissions and fully decarbonize toward the second half of this century. Among the analyses carried out within the Horizon 2020 project PARE – Perspectives for Aeronautical Research in Europe, this paper tackles the potential role of Climate Change Levy Schemes in achieving the ambitious objective of aviation decarbonization by the year 2050.
