🛫 Aviation 2050: The potential for climate-neutral growth
💬 In discussion with: Jayant Mukhopadhaya, ICCT
🗓️ Thurs 23rd Oct, 19:00-20:00 UK time (UTC+1)
Description:
How can aviation achieve climate-neutral growth? What role can contrails, alternative fuels and aircraft technology play?
In this Airside Chat, Jayant Mukhopadhaya, Senior Researcher on the Aviation team at the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) and co-author of their Aviation Vision 2050 report, shares expert insights on the report’s scenarios and findings.
The session explores:
✈️ Why a 2050 net-zero CO2 target is insufficient to align aviation with the Paris Agreement.
✈️ Why short-lived climate pollutants matter just as much as CO₂, particularly near-term
✈️ The climate benefits of contrail avoidance, alternative fuels, and other mitigation strategies
✈️ What aviation workers can do to get our industry on the best flightpath
Bring your questions and join fellow aviation workers for a grounded discussion on what the research means for our industry and its future.
