Aviation Reps Call For Agreement on 2050 CO2 Target
Setting a clear CO2 target is critical if aviation is to respond and plan efficiently, while no clear alternatives to burning jet fuel yet exist.

At the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York yesterday, aviation industry organizations together with environmental groups called on governments “to set a timeframe for agreement on a long-term target to reduce CO2 emissions from air transport.” The industry representatives are hoping for agreement on a comprehensive 2050 goal for aviation CO2 by the next ICAO Assembly in 2022.
