This is the second of two papers that examine the key factors that have to be taken into account when calculating air travel emissions for the purpose of climate footprint and offset calculations.
The first paper examined methods of calculating CO2 emissions only, and provided a framework for how to allocate responsibility for these emissions among various aviation users (e.g. passengers, cargo customers).
This paper has a broader scope in that it explains all the emission factors that affect climate change and discusses appropriate metrics that take into account all these factors. However, it does not directly address allocation of responsibility at the individual level.
