WASHINGTON, DCExperts from the aviation sector briefed international financial institutions today at a meeting held on the sidelines of the World Bank and IMF Spring Meetings in Washington, DC. As part of its commitment to reach net-zero carbon by 2050, the air transport sector will require a rapid shift to new types of energy including sustainable aviation fuel which can reduce emissions from the sector whilst using existing aircraft and fuelling systems.
MONTREALGovernments meeting at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly in Montreal have adopted a goal of net-zero carbon emissions for international flights by 2050, one of the only global sector-specific climate goals. The goal aligns international aviation with the Paris Agreement and follows a commitment by the industry itself last year.
MONTREALRepresentatives of the world’s governments meeting in Montreal are being urged to adopt a long-term climate goal of net-zero carbon by 2050 for the aviation sector. Over 150 countries are expected at the 41st International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly where one of the most important topics of discussion will be climate change.

MONTREALAviation industry executives met with government representatives in Montreal today to detail industry aspirations for a long-term climate goal to be agreed for the sector at United Nations meetings later this year. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) will debate the potential for a goal to decarbonise the air transport sector, with industry supporting a net-zero carbon trajectory.
SANTIAGOGovernments from Latin American countries met with aviation industry officials today to discuss how the energy transition in air transport could help generate green growth employment and support up to two million jobs in the region. This was part of a series of regional events in the lead up to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly in September, where governments will negotiate a long-term climate goal for the sector.
LONDONGENEVAToday, Zinc Media Group announces ‘Skies of Tomorrow’ – a revealing documentary series, showcasing how the aviation sector is working together, on an international scale, to forge a path to net zero.
BOSTONThe global air transport industry has adopted a long-term climate goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, confirming the commitment of the world’s airlines, airports, air traffic management and the makers of aircraft and engines to reduce CO2 emissions in support of the Paris Agreement 1.5ºC goal. This updates an earlier industry-wide goal set in 2009 and comes after yesterday’s resolution of the International Air Transport Association membership to adopt a net-zero goal.
BOSTONNew analysis outlines credible paths for the air transport sector to reach its updated long-term climate goal to hit net-zero carbon emissions in 2050. A combination of new technology, improvements in operations and infrastructure and a shift to sustainable aviation fuels can help get the sector close to decarbonisation in 2050, with residual emissions being mitigated through market-based instruments such as carbon removal.
GENEVAThe severe downturn in air traffic caused by Covid-19, followed by a slow recovery continues to put at risk up to 44.6 million jobs normally supported by aviation around the globe, according to new industry figures released today at the Global Sustainable Aviation Forum. Despite a significant recovery in air traffic in some domestic and regional markets, the impact of very weak international visitor traffic is continuing to have a severe impact on tourism jobs supported by air travel.
GENEVAThe severe downturn in air traffic this year caused by Covid-19, followed by a slow recovery will result in a loss of up to 46 million jobs normally supported by aviation around the globe, according to new industry figures released today.
GENEVADespite the current crisis facing the global aviation industry, its commitment to pursuing sustainability remains strong, particularly as the sector starts to recover. Speaking at the Global Sustainable Aviation Forum, industry leaders reiterated that long-term climate action should be a priority alongside economic recovery in the coming years.
GENEVAIn new analysis released today, the aviation sector details how it can meet its climate goal of cutting CO2 emissions in half by 2050, compared with 2005. It also highlights that net-zero emissions from air transport across the global sector could be achieved a decade or so afterwards. The plan will rely on a significant shift away from fossil fuels, the introduction of radical new technology and continued improvements in operations by the sector.
