OUR COMMITMENTS
In 2017, we made a commitment to carbon neutrality (with offsetting 23 ) for Aéroports de Paris SA by 2030. This was followed in 2019 by the commitment to zero net CO 2 emissions by 2050 at the latest (without offsetting and corresponding to a +1.5°C trajectory) for the Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly, Izmir, Ankara, Zagreb and Liège airports. All of the Group's other airports are on a trajectory of emissions reduction and/or carbon neutrality. These commitments include the voluntary participation of 12 of our airports in the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) programme. Supported by the European Union and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), this programme currently has four levels of accreditation: level 1 validates the methods used airport's emissions reduction; level 3 includes the calculation of indirect emissions (ground handling, aircraft movements, etc.) in the process; and level 3+ corresponds to carbon neutrality (with offsetting). Emissions calculated under this programme are verified by an independent third party. Groupe ADP is participating in the work of ACI-Europe to define a level 4, which would result in an absolute reduction in internal CO 2 emissions on a path leading to zero net CO 2 emissions. to calculate the direct carbon footprint; level 2 certifies the

CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND
International Civil Aviation Organization in September 2019, the entire aviation industry reasserted its commitment made in 2016 to achieving carbon-neutral growth from 2020 and halving CO 2 emissions in 2050 compared to 2005. Airports are part of the aviation industry's general effort and have been on a virtuous path for several years. In June 2019, over 200 European airports signed the resolution of ACI Europe (Airport Council International), committing to a roadmap to achieve zero net CO 2 emissions by 2050 at the latest (without offsetting), therefore raising the carbon neutrality commitments (with offsetting) made in previous years.
Successive IPCC reports have underlined how human activities and anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change. To limit the disruptions caused, governments made a commitment in 2015, as part of the Paris Agreements, to accelerate and intensify actions to keep global warming below 2°C and in the vicinity of 1.5°C. Air transport is excluded from this agreement, as international negotiations take place as part of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). Meanwhile, the European Green Deal is aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. At a congress of the
