Abstract

Aviation is responsible for about five per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions through the burning of fossil fuels. This analysis explores the potential and obstacles of measures to reduce travel, energy use, and emissions in order to lessen aviation's impact on the climate in Sweden. Various efforts have been made to decrease aviation's climate impact, from regulations to alternative technologies for jet fuel. These efforts face multiple challenges, many rooted in social and political issues that are often overlooked in favour of technological fixes. One major hurdle is creating a market for alternatives to traditional jet fuel as consumer awareness and willingness to invest in these innovations remain limited. Current policy measures have proven ineffective at driving change; an understanding of aviation as a socio-technical system is essential moving forward. The significance of this review lies in its comprehensive examination of ways to diminish aviation’s climate impact, presenting new perspectives and identifying areas for further research by considering all components, their interactions, and interdependence.
