The International Air Transport Association (IATA) called for governments to reach a consensus on a global approach to market-based measures (MBMs) to help aviation manage its carbon emissions during this week’s Greener Skies Conference in Hong Kong. IATA also stressed the need for governments and industry to align on four pillars of the aviation industry’s strategy on climate change: investment in new technology, more efficient operations, better infrastructure and positive economic measure or MBMs.
