Business Aviation Commitment on Climate Change

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) joins with the global aviation community in welcoming the long-term goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 for international aviation, adopted by governments gathered for the 41st International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly in Montreal, Canada.

Business-aviation groups put forward a set of policy principles to guide long-term carbon emissions reductions in the lead-up to the 41st International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Triennial Assembly convening this week. ICAO, a United Nations agency, convenes its 193 member states every three years to set worldwide aviation policy. The next triennial meeting will be held in Montreal from Sept. 27 to Oct. 7.

Business-aviation leaders pledge to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 as they expand on a set of bold climate commitments made a decade ago, marking the latest in a string of new sustainability announcements at their main event of the year.
