Led by our Science Workstream, this project seeks to quantify the financial implications of delayed or insufficient decarbonisation in aviation.
While much of the current discussion focuses on the cost of transition, insufficient attention has been given to the cost of inaction. These costs may include stranded assets, declining aircraft residual values, higher capital costs, regulatory penalties, operational disruptions due to climate impacts, and reduced competitiveness in a decarbonising global economy.
By developing a robust methodology to quantify these effects, the project aims to provide decision-makers with a clearer understanding of the economic risks of delay. Making these costs visible today enables stakeholders across finance, industry, and policy to act in a timely manner and allocate capital more strategically.
