Description :

As the world economy further develops and we become more interconnected, global emissions from aviation could increase from 3% today to 22% by 2050. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has declared a resolution for the global aviation industry to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Policymakers have also risen to the occasion, with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) exploring the feasibility of a long-term aspirational goal for international aviation and 23 nations signing the International Aviation Climate Ambition Coalition at COP26.

Our focus now must be on implementation and ensuring all necessary decisions, mechanisms and investments are made in this decade to ensure we track against our shared goal.

How can we create the ecosystem and infrastructure required to accelerate sustainable aviation fuels, as well as new propulsion and aircraft? What else does aviation need to achieve net zero by 2050?
