In this episode 5, we're thrilled to welcome Dr. Bethan Owen, a respected reader at The Manchester Metropolitan University and a distinguished United Nations co-rapporteur in the International Civil Aviation Organization Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection, through which she co-chairs the Emissions Regulations Group. Welcome to the podcast, Bethan!
Talking Points:
• Exploring the intersection of science and policymaking for real-world impact.
• Debating the immediate implementation of contrail management and the need for operational trials.
• Assessing the alignment between ICAO & EU on contrails, given the recent innovation fund tender by the European commission
• Identifying aviation's Non-CO2 effects and the surrounding uncertainties.
• Weighing the importance of CO2 reduction strategies against the "low-hanging fruit" of contrail management.
• Comparing the Lee et al. studies from 2021 and 2023 (both of which she co-authored, links below).
• Unravelling the roles of ICAO, CAEP, FAA, EASA in aviation rule making.
Guiding the discussion on the complexities of mitigating non-CO2 aircraft emissions are Marius Wedemeyer and Kieran Tait.
