Global vs Indian Airline CO2 Emissions

Emissions from global airline operations represent 2%

of global anthropogenic emissions

Emissions from Indian related airline operations represent less than

1%of total Indian anthropogenic emissions

Is India on the right environmental path?

There is a surprising lack of consolidated aviation

carbon footprint reports at the country level…The

notable exception is India and its leadership in aviation

carbon foot printing is highly commended.

Southgate, 2013

India is taking appropriate initiatives in order to achieve

sustainable growth in their nation.
