Example Audio Interview Story
Here is a bit of introductory text. You can write a little bit about the person you are interviewing. Who are they, and what is their expertise? Consider including an interesting tidbit about them.
This is where your introduction should go. The introduction must be a minimum of 100 words long. This is what 100 words looks like. We are interested in this topic also because it is closely linked to our motivation for publishing Our World in Data. We face big global problems, but living conditions around the world have improved in important ways; fewer people are dying of disease, conflict and famine; more of us are receiving a basic education; the world is becoming more democratic; we live longer and lead healthier lives.
Listen here:
Your name: How can we expect the sector’s CO2 emissions to change in the future?
Your interviewee's name: Transport demand is expected to grow across the world in the coming decades as the global population increases, incomes rise, and more people can afford cars, trains and flights. In its Energy Technology Perspectives report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects global transport (measured in passenger-kilometers) to double, car ownership rates to increase by 60%, and demand for passenger and freight aviation to triple by 2070.18 Combined, these factors would result in a large increase in transport emissions.
What share of global CO2 emissions come from aviation?
Global aviation (including domestic and international; passenger and freight) accounts for: 1.9% of greenhouse gas emissions (which includes all greenhouse gases, not only CO2, 2.5% of CO2 emissions, and 3.5% of ‘effective radiative forcing’ — a closer measure of its impact on warming.
The latter two numbers refer to 2018, and the first to 2016, the latest year for which such data are available.
Where in the world do people have the highest carbon footprint from flying?
We see large differences in emissions from domestic flights across the world. In the United States the average person emits around 386 kilograms of CO2 each year from internal flights. This is followed by Australia (267 kg); Norway (209 kg); New Zealand (174 kg); and Canada (168 kg).
Here's a bit of concluding text. Write a sentence or two to finish up, and leave your reader with a thought to take home.
