The Study Of Global Carbon Emissions Offset Mechanisms Of International Aviation

The environment issue brings a significant impact on society, the world steps up to deal with the problem. As one of the most important industry, aviation gets more and more attention. Cross-border is the characteristic of the international aviation, so it requires multiple collaborations to deal with the problem. Carbon emissions offset mechanisms is considered to be the most feasible solution among the market-oriented measures. So we study the carbon emissions offset mechanisms in the paper.We discuss the relevant issues of the carbon offset mechanisms about the international aviation, including the composition of the global carbon market, the meaning and situation of the carbon offset mechanisms, the Monitoring, Reporting and Verification and other elements. After the study we find that the main problems of international aviation offset mechanisms, namely the issue of carbon offsets with the allocation of responsibility and the selection of offset units.We find that: If we do not consider the different rate of the aviation growth in all countries and international aviation emissions targets by 2020, in the global carbon offset mechanisms, abatement costs in developing countries are much higher than in developed countries, and the emissions units selection standards are too strict, so standard offset units are rare,which is unfair to the developing countries.Finally, we make some suggestions for the establishment of a global carbon offset mechanism. We must consider the different stages of the development of international aviation and the need of the fast-growing aviation when we called for the global carbon emissions offset mechanisms of international aviation fairly.
