In Switzerland, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said it will launch the IATA World Sustainability Symposium (WSS) in Madrid, Spain on October 3-4.
IATA noted that the symposium will facilitate critical discussions in seven key areas: the overall strategy to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, including SAF, the crucial role of government and policy support, effective implementation of sustainability measures, financing the energy transition, measuring, tracking and reporting emissions, addressing non-CO2 emissions and the significance of value chains
“In 2021 airlines committed to net zero emissions by 2050. Last year governments made the same commitment through the International Civil Aviation Organization. Now the WSS will bring together the global community of sustainability experts in the industry and governments to debate and discuss the key enablers for aviation’s successful decarbonization, our biggest challenge ever,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General.
