The Committee on Climate Change has published its report on international aviation and shipping emissions, arguing that there is no longer any reason to exclude these from carbon budgets. In the report the Committee conclude that the current approach should be formalised through the inclusion of these emissions in carbon budgets and the 2050 target. Emissions from international aviation and shipping were initially left out of carbon budgets and the 2050 target when the Climate Change Act became Law in 2008, with the decision on inclusion delayed to 2012. A technical report accompanies this advice, out scenarios for how the 2050 target to reduce emissions by 80% relative to 1990 levels can be achieved with international aviation and shipping included.
