Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Aviation As aviation is the fastest growing source of GHG transport emissions in the European Union, the issue of how to reduce emissions from aviation is of considerable urgency.

Report Launch in London: In recent years, the UK has benefited enormously from migrant labour, legal and illegal.

There is a growing tension around labour migration policy in both Germany and Britain.

Having examined the reasons and extent of the demand for labour migration in each country, the authors present their study that investigates why there is public resistance, what forms it takes, and how it differs from anti-immigrant sentiment.
