2030 Net Zero Edinburgh
8-week internship following the MBA working with the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce in aiding the City of Edinburgh Council in creating a strategic framework towards achieving a just transition for citizens and businesses alike for a green economy.
Climate change is an issue the whole world is facing. Scotland and Edinburgh seek to lead the way to the Net zero transition adding the “Just” element where no one is left behind. The difficulty in ensuring a Just transition is that it is human rights orientated and holistically based which is tougher to measure.
MBA Project 01
Edinburgh International Airport
With more than 150 global destinations and 40 airline partners, EDI is the busiest airport in Scotland and 6th in the UK. In 2019, EDI hosted more than 14.7 million passengers. However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a massive impact on the tourism and aviation industries. After two years of travel restrictions and various stay-at-home mandates, travelers are ready to explore new places. This consultancy project determined new flight routes by analyzing passenger directionality. The strategic recommendations will assist EDI’s route development to increase passenger and airline preference towards Edinburgh.
