“British Airways took fresh steps today to intensify its work in limiting aviation’s impact on climate change.
The airline unveiled a new carbon offset scheme, and backing for deforestation prevention in Brazil and research into the effects of aircraft’s non-carbon emissions.
The upgraded offset scheme uses UN certified emissions reductions to help finance clean energy projects in developing countries.
Customers offsetting their flight emissions will be supporting a new wind farm in one of the poorest regions of China, as well as run-of-the-river hydro electric plants in China and Brazil.
The scheme is more user-friendly with customers able to buy their offset in one transaction when they book their flight on ba.com.”
