    \nA global study \u2026 of road-vehicle kilometres<\/q> Broken, J., et al., \u2018Global and country inventory of road passenger and freight transportation: fuel consumption and emissions of air pollutants in year 2000\u2019<\/cite>, Transportation Research Record<\/span> , Journal of the Transportation Research Board No. 2011, Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, Washington, DC., 2007. 127\u201336 (figures for 2000), https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3141\/2011-14<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    \na quarter of the global population could have \u2026 taken a flight<\/q> G\u00f6ssling, S., and Humpe, A., \u2018The global scale, distribution and growth of aviation: implications for climate change\u2019<\/cite>, Global Environmental Change<\/span>, 65, 2011: Article 102194, https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.gloenvcha.2020.102194<\/a>. This is a theoretical maximum. If at least one person took more than one flight, this number decreases. As some take multiple flights, a much lower percentage of the world\u2019s population actually flew in 2018.\n<\/p>\n

    \nTravelling on a long-haul first-class flight<\/q> \u2018International rail\u2019 in this context is powered significantly by the very low-carbon electricity grid in France.\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    \ninternational aviation and shipping together contribute \u2026 as Japan<\/q> Global Carbon Atlas, \u2018Fossil fuel emissions, 2020\u2019<\/cite>, http:\/\/www.globalcarbonatlas.org\/en\/CO2-emissions<\/a>; Global Carbon Project, Global Carbon Budget 2021<\/span>, 4 November 2021, https:\/\/www.globalcarbonproject.org\/carbonbudget\/21\/files\/GCP_CarbonBudget_2021.pdf<\/a>. This figure is based on the 2.9 per cent of global CO2<\/sub> emitted by \u2018bunkers\u2019, representing \u2018international aviation and shipping\u2019, which is around 1 gigatonne of CO2<\/sub> \u2013 a similar amount to that emitted by Japan in 2020.\n<\/p>\n
