Consumer preferences for voluntary carbon mitigation in the aviation sector

对航空的需求正在迅速增加碳排放。关于消费者对航空碳补偿的偏好以及它们如何随着时间的推移而演变，人们知之甚少。这在历史的关键时期阻碍了自愿计划的扩大。这项研究将调查消费者抵消偏好和他们愿意支付航空碳减排使用一种新的时间序列方法。该项目旨在为政府政策提供信息，并帮助行业制定更有可能得到消费者支持的碳抵消计划，从而有助于长期减少碳排放。它还旨在介绍碳抵消团体，以支持宣传活动，增加抵消的规模和价值。

The demand for aviation is rapidly adding to carbon emissions. Little is known about consumer preferences for aviation carbon offsets and how they evolve over time. This hinders the expansion of voluntary schemes at a crucial period in history. This research will investigate consumers offset preferences and their willingness to pay for aviation carbon mitigation using a novel time series methodology. The project aims to inform government policies and to help industry to develop carbon offset programs which are more likely to be supported by consumers, thus helping to reduce carbon emissions in the long term. It also aims to profile carbon offsetting groups to support communication activities to increase the size and value of offsets.
