Global Sustainable Aviation Forum / COP28

The aviation industry invited visitors to the COP 28 Green zone to join the Global Sustainable Aviation Forum / COP28 on Wednesday 6 December 2023 in Dubai, in the Green zone at COP 28.

The Forum, a side event during the UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP28), was hosted by the United Arab Emirates in Dubai in November / December 2023. 

The Forum was managed on behalf of the Air Transport Action Group by Serindipity Solutions - ATAG's chosen event partner.

Background

In 2021, the global aviation industry declared that it will achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, supported by accelerated efficiency measures, energy transition (including sustainable aviation fuel) and innovation across the sector in partnership with governments around the world.  

Government support for net zero (a crucial element) was confirmed in October 2022 when a similar goal was adopted for international flights during the 41st session of the ICAO Assembly.

Key topics

ATAG's Global Sustainable Aviation Forum / COP28 showcased the latest innovations and developments in the field of aviation climate action. We focused on:
