Reducing the climate footprint of our airports and the sector

CONTEXT

The climate emergency is the challenge of the century. The international community has taken it up by ratifying the 2015 Paris Agreement aimed at containing global warming at a level below 2 °C. Many countries announced the objective of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Civil society is increasingly vigilant with regard to activities with a high environmental impact and inter alia the air transport sector that must transition. In 2016, the Air Transport Action Group and the International Civil Aviation Organisation undertook to halve CO 2 emissions in 2050 compared to 2005. In 2019, more than 200 European airports committed to “net zero CO 2 emissions” at the latest by 2050.
