01. What is the contribution of aviation to global greenhouse gas emissions?

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, aviation (domestic and international) accounts for approximately 2 per cent of global CO2 emissions produced by human activity. In 2015, approximately 65 per cent of global aviation fuel consumption was from international aviation (see ICAO 2019 Environmental Report); applying this share to CO2 emissions, international aviation is responsible for approximately 1.3 per cent of global CO2 emissions.
