The Environment Agency of the United Kingdom has been assigned to supervise the European Union’s forthcoming plan to cap emissions from the aviation sector.

The European Union (EU) has decided to press countries outside the alliance to include aviation in their existing or future schemes meant to restrict emissions of greenhouse gases.

The failure of the aviation industry worldwide in checking rising levels of carbon emissions could result in the “worst case scenario” for climate change, an unpublished study conducted by the world’s leading experts has warned.
