“…At the meeting that followed, 65 states, including the USA, China, and all EU countries, agreed that environmental protection was crucially significant and voluntarily adopted the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) in 2016. CORSIA is a Carbon Offset and Carbon Reduction scheme covering overall flights (Efthymiou and Papatheodorou, 2019;Sharma, et al, 2021).…”

The global climate crisis deepening rapidly and turning into a severe security problem requires a global struggle. In this regard, the United Nations has initiated comprehensive negotiations for a long time, but the process has not achieved the desired level of success. Behind this failure lie neoliberalism and its institutions that dominate the global economic system. The aviation sector with rapid growth potential develops around the aggressive strategies of neoliberalism. The developments in the aviation sector naturally affect the climate negatively at an increasing rate. In this context, the aviation industry adopting the policy of pretending to be environmentalist has ignored or covered up the environmental impacts to escape the pressure of the climate crisis and continued to grow around the deregulation principle of neoliberalism. This situation, called greenwashing, has been well adopted by the aviation industry. This study deals with greenwashing, a strategic approach that the aviation industry has implemented against other environmental problems, especially climate crises. The study has revealed that the innovative projects of the aviation industry, such as electric airplanes, hydrogen-powered airplanes, biofuel studies, high-efficiency, are highly nonfunctional. In conclusion, the study has emphasized that the aviation industry is not as innocent as pretended; the attempts to hide the sector-based pollution effects are unrealistic, and the sector-related climate crisis continues to increase.

“…At the same time, all member states are obliged to report on their emissions [10]. Overall, issues of concern related to CORSIA have been reported [4,12]. In this study, we aim to classify and discuss those concerns by using the TBL value creation theory, for the purpose of better understanding the issues surrounding carbon emissions reduction in international aviation and identifying methods for its successful implementation.…”

“…This lack in international aviation emission studies creates a knowledge gap otherwise necessary for the ever-increasing complexity of regulators' jobs with regard to evaluating carbon offsetting schemes and preventing possible antitrust behavior [8]. The other literature has discussed and raised important questions and challenges related to CORSIA's implementation [2,[9][10][11][12].…”

Analysis of Carbon Emission Reduction in International Civil Aviation through the Lens of Shared Triple Bottom Line Value Creation

Overall, climate concerns have been on the global agenda for many years now. However, the aviation sector’s impact on climate change has been receiving increased attention recently. This is primarily due to the adoption of the 2016 carbon offsetting and reduction scheme for international civil aviation (CORSIA) which was introduced by the international civil aviation organization (ICAO). The aims of our study are to analyze ICAO’s carbon offsetting reduction scheme through the lens of the triple bottom line (TBL) value creation dimensions and to explore implementation issues relevant to its success and alignment between regulatory and commercial capabilities. Findings from our analysis were presented to a pilot focus group to further our understanding of the area. After cross-examination of the carbon emission reduction implementation issues against the TBL dimensions, we show the gap between regulatory schemes and the realities of the sustainable commercial aviation sector to meet climate goals. By highlighting the regulatory versus commercial social capabilities, our study illuminates the dimensions which need to be considered in regulatory practice, emphasizing the necessity for commercial sustainability. We finally provide recommendations to be considered for the successful implementation of CORSIA.

“…The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement that aims to combat global greenhouse gas emissions by imposing binding obligations on the party countries in the fight against the climate crisis since the UNFCCC has no sufficient regulations to combat the climate crisis. However, the protocol did not include the commercial aviation sector, which emits many emissions and requires precautions [4,28]. As in the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement, which is active in the fight against the current climate crisis, does not explicitly include emissions from the commercial aviation sector [4].…”

The climate crisis is becoming more visible day by day and is affecting the ecological system more and more. However, despite such a visible threat and its severe effects, efforts at the national and international levels are far from tackling the climate crisis. Especially with its rapid growth and ever-increasing emission rates, the commercial aviation sector remains inadequate in combating the climate crisis. This study discusses the struggles of the global commercial aviation sector in terms of the climate crisis and the reflections of this combat on the Turkish commercial aviation sector. As a result, both international and domestic commercial aviation sectors follow an unrealistic attitude in the fight against the climate crisis, and there is still a long way to go.
