Abstract
This work provides an extensive analysis of the different methodologies and related findings and implications of several projects that address the climate impact of aviation. By analyzing EU-funded initiatives and other significant projects worldwide, several critical insights have been drawn about how aviation contributes to climate change and the potential pathways to mitigate these impacts.Keywords
