A review of literature on the implementation of international law on reduction of aviation emission in Nigeria

Abstract

The increase in the volume of aviation emission being discharged on the earth surface worldwide has been observed to have severe global pollution impact on human lives and climate change effects on the environment. The United Nations having received series of academic and scientific research reports on the need to regulate aviation emission, carried out programmes on global regulation of aviation emission with a view to reducing its volume and devastating impact. This paper reviews scholarly literature on the impact of aviation emission on the environment and the need to implement the international regulations on reduction of aviation emission in Nigeria. A doctrinal research method is used with information from quality journals and books on international regulation of aviation emission. It is however observed that all the literature reviewed do not examine implementation of international regulations on reduction of aviation emission in Nigeria. The review concludes that the above gap in knowledge will be filled by focusing study on implementation of international regulations on reduction of aviation emission in Nigeria.
