Abstract

Investigating the role that air transportation plays in regard to carbon emissions offers several valuable insights and contributions that are critical for addressing climate change and promoting sustainable development as far as climate mitigation, policy development and evaluation, technological innovation, public awareness engagement, international cooperation, and risk management and resilience are concerned. Such studies are of importance since aviation holds approximately 2% of global carbon dioxide emissions according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Therefore, this study aims to search for the role of air transportation in pollutant emissions around the globe. A global data split by regions and income groups is constructed and evaluated through the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) methodology. Results reveal that means of air transportation generally exert statistically significant effects on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions; however, the signs of coefficients of air transportation are in mixed directions across different regions and income groups. The study concludes that alternative air transport systems such as solar‐powered aircraft and technological innovations should be seriously considered as a business strategy due to increasing pollutant emissions.

航空运输在能源使用排放中的作用：来自全球数据的证据

调查航空运输在碳排放方面所发挥的作用可以提供一些宝贵的见解和贡献，这些见解和贡献对于应对气候变化和促进可持续发展至关重要，涉及到气候减缓、政策制定和评估、技术创新、公众意识参与、国际合作以及风险管理和抗灾能力。根据政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）的数据，航空业的二氧化碳排放量约占全球排放量的 2%，因此此类研究具有重要意义。因此，本研究旨在探索航空运输在全球污染物排放中的作用。通过自回归分布滞后（ARDL）方法，构建并评估了按地区和收入群体划分的全球数据。研究结果表明，航空运输方式对二氧化碳（CO2）排放的影响一般具有统计学意义；但是，在不同地区和收入组别中，航空运输系数的符号方向不一。研究得出结论，由于污染物排放量不断增加，应将太阳能飞机和技术创新等替代航空运输系统作为一项商业战略加以认真考虑。

期刊介绍： Natural Resources Forum, a United Nations Sustainable Development Journal, focuses on international, multidisciplinary issues related to sustainable development, with an emphasis on developing countries. The journal seeks to address gaps in current knowledge and stimulate policy discussions on the most critical issues associated with the sustainable development agenda, by promoting research that integrates the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Contributions that inform the global policy debate through pragmatic lessons learned from experience at the local, national, and global levels are encouraged. The Journal considers articles written on all topics relevant to sustainable development. In addition, it dedicates series, issues and special sections to specific themes that are relevant to the current discussions of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD). Articles must be based on original research and must be relevant to policy-making. Criteria for selection of submitted articles include: 1) Relevance and importance of the topic discussed to sustainable development in general, both in terms of policy impacts and gaps in current knowledge being addressed by the article; 2) Treatment of the topic that incorporates social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainable development, rather than focusing purely on sectoral and/or technical aspects; 3) Articles must contain original applied material drawn from concrete projects, policy implementation, or literature reviews; purely theoretical papers are not entertained.
