IATA undersökning om klimatkompensation

We would like to invite you to participate in a comprehensive  survey of airline attitudes towards carbon offsetting.  Carbon offsetting is an approach towards reducing the climate change risk for an airline and some airlines have already taken steps to provide their passengers with the opportunity to compensate for the carbon emissions generated from their flight.  The objective of this survey is to understand the attitudes towards carbon offsetting at an aggregated level across the airline industry.  This independent survey guarantees complete anonymity and confidentiality to all respondents.

This survey has been developed by a Masters student reading Climate Change Management at Birkbeck College, as part of a dissertation on carbon offsetting in the airline industry. 

Why you should participate

• Gather current opinion on the state of carbon offsetting across the airline industry.
• Improve existing carbon offsetting scheme or start a new scheme.  Results will be shared with all airlines interested in improving their current offsetting scheme or launching a new scheme.
• More responses mean better data reliability and confidence in the results.  To be able to provide data that is truly representative of the industry, we count on the support of as many airlines as possible.
• Contribute to academic research.  This is an independent survey with a clear academic research purpose – it has the full support and cooperation of IATA but remains independent of IATA.
• Freedom to respond anonymously.  Responses will not be tracked and questions have been phrased in such a way such that respondents cannot be identified.

What you need to know about the survey
• Airlines are invited to participate regardless of whether they have a carbon offsetting scheme.  Only one representative from each airline should respond.  If you are not the most suitable person to respond, we kindly ask that you forward this email to the appropriate colleague.
• The survey can be accessed by clicking on the following URL, http://sgiz.mobi/s3/Airline-Carbon-Offsetting-Survey-2011. If the link does not work, copy the address and paste it into the address bar of your browser.
• The survey should take you between 10-15 minutes to complete and we would like to ask that you complete the survey by Friday 22nd April.
• Should you have any further questions regarding the survey, you can contact Colin Cafferty (ccaffe01@students.bbk.ac.uk).
Thank you again and we hope that you will assist Colin in his research.
