Climate action is one of the key priorities on the airport agendas.
Since 2008, Airports Council International (ACI) EUROPE and its members have been working to reduce their carbon emissions, supported by the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme. In June 2019, ACI EUROPE launched a Sustainability Strategy for Airports, the first-ever systematic approach to sustainability at airports and practical guidance on how to achieve it. As part of this Sustainability Strategy, European airports have committed, through ACI EUROPE, to achieve Net Zero Carbon emissions for operations under their control by 2050 at the latest.
Despite the effects of the COVID-19 crisis, ACI EUROPE has reconfirmed its commitment at the second Aviation Sustainability Summit in May 2021 and even accelerated many of the Net Zero Carbon targets – more than 90 airports are already set to achieve Net Zero Carbon emissions by 2030.
ACI EUROPE has decided to develop a guidance document and a repository to support the airports in developing their roadmap. To70 has supported ACI EUROPE in drafting this document and providing airports with guidance on preparing an actionable Net Zero Carbon roadmap in five easy steps. This guidance material and a repository with public roadmaps are available on the ACI website.
