The WWF-UK One in Five Challenge Why does WWF care about flying? Climate change is the biggest global threat to natural world, people and wildlife Aviation is one of fastest growing sources of GHGs, and currently the technological improvements are developing too slowly to compensate If emissions are not stabilised, aviation could take up most of the UK carbon budget by 2050 – how to meet 80% reduction target without penalising the rest of the economy?

The WWF-UK One in Five Challenge What’s the link – WWF, aviation and business? WWF has the environmental expertise, the brand and the political clout to help companies pursue their sustainability agenda to find practical solutions Flying represents significant share of business carbon footprint -can be as much as 50% for some companies Carbon savings could be significant: if all European companies cut business flights by 20% they would save 22 million tonnes of CO 2 Conditions are right for encouraging a shift in business flying culture –Alternatives – audio, web and video conferencing & High Speed Rail –Regulation and fiscal measures pushing carbon reduction –Meeting an 80% cut of greenhouse gases by 2050
