Personal carbon trading applied to Swiss air travel - Guaranteeing a fair access to climate ambitious aviation

The climate crisis requires rapid and substantial emission reductions from all economic sectors, aviation included. Given the limited impact that existing policies in aviation will provide in the next decade, national policies might be required to rapidly start reducing the climate impact from international air travel. This study explores the feasibility of implementing a Personal Carbon Trading (PCT) scheme for air travel, focusing on Switzerland as a case study.
