Aviation sector
CO2 emissions from commercial aircraft are on course to triple by 2050. As such, the aviation sector has a vital role to play in halting global average temperature rises.
The Science-Based Target Aviation Guidance supports companies in the aviation sector to model science-based targets, based on the Sectoral Decarbonization Approach (SDA). This enables them to reduce their emissions footprint and prevent the worst effects of climate change.
Guidance for the aviation sector
Why take action?
Regulators, investors and consumers are placing increasing pressure on the sector to take action on climate change. Science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions enable companies to demonstrate concrete sustainability commitments to increasingly-conscious consumers.
How to set a target
Based on best practices for science-based target-setting, our guidance outlines:
- The extent of the CO2 emissions reductions companies to make
- The speed at which they need to do it
The Guidance and Target Setting Tool is for passenger and cargo airlines, as well as companies that use aviation services.
