The University of Cambridge has outlined four new sustainable aviation goals that could help the aviation sector to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. 

The report, titled ‘Five Years to Chart a New Future for Aviation’, outlines a five-year plan and “establishes four pivotal 2030 Sustainable Aviation Goals, each targeting key leverage points within the sector”. The roadmap was developed by the Aviation Impact Accelerator (AIA) in collaboration with the University of Cambridge. 

The aviation industry currently contributes approximately 2.5% of global CO2 emissions, and when non-CO2 effects are included, its contribution to climate warming increases to approximately 4%.
