Lawmakers Seek Comprehensive Overview of Green Efforts
Reps. Larsen, Davids, and Schrier are seeking to develop a database of all the sustainability initiatives in aviation and a report on their effectiveness.

Three U.S. House members are striving to take a more comprehensive overview of the myriad sustainability initiatives in the aviation sector, introducing a bill yesterday that calls for a database to track such efforts and a report on the overall efforts. The National Evaluation of Aviation and Aerospace Solutions to Climate Change Act, H.R.5977, would direct the Department of Transportation and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to study climate change mitigation efforts within civil aviation and aerospace, develop an assessment of the effectiveness of those efforts, identify barriers, and develop recommendations.
