Book Launch: Sustainable Development, International Aviation, and Treaty Implementation

The McGill Institute of Air and Space Law and the Centre for Research in Air and Space Law proudly announce the launch of Sustainable Development, International Aviation, and Treaty Implementation, a new collection of essays published by Cambridge University Press and co-edited by Professor Armand de Mestral, Dr. Paul Fitzgerald, and Dr. Tanveer Ahmad.

This valuable publication arrives at a moment when the environmental impact of international air transport and the regulation of aviation emissions has been high on the agenda of the policy-makers at the International Civil Aviation Organization and among States across the globe. The chapters, penned by prominent practitioners and academics in the field, explore a range of legal and policy considerations in the promotion and implementation of sustainable development in the aviation industry.

With a comprehensive analysis of the impact of regional and multilateral modes of aviation governance, the book examines the complex relationship between aviation and sustainable development from legal, policy, technical, economic and global perspectives. The collective insight and unique perspectives of aviation law and policy experts from around the world makes Sustainable Development, International Aviation, and Treaty Implementation an indispensable resource for anyone who is keen to understand the issues and challenges confronting the sustainable future growth of aviation, an industry that is fundamental to the life and connectivity of our modern economies and societies.

The co-editors of the book will be in attendance to present the book and to discuss its relevance and impact. Light refreshments will be provided. We look forward to welcoming you.

We are grateful to Cambridge University Press for supporting this launch event.
