U.S. Airlines Oppose Inclusion in EU Trading But Not Climate Policy, Industry Group Says

摘要

U.S. airlines are opposed to including foreign airlines in the European Union emissions trading system (ETS), but they are not outright opposed to climate change policy, a representative of an airlines industry association said Dec. 11. Nancy Young, vice president of environmental affairs for Airlines for America (A4A), said U.S. airlines favor a global, sector-based approach to reducing airline emissions that involves using alternative fuels and modernizing airplanes. "We're not afraid of climate policy," she said.
