Global Aviation Summit Tackles Enviro-Impact

(April 28, 2008 - Modern Agent) -- At the global Aviation and Environment Summit in Geneva last week, aviation industry leaders signed a declaration on climate change to lead towards carbon neutral growth.

The declaration has brought together all sectors of commercial aviation — aircraft manufacturers, airlines, airports, air traffic control and engine manufacturers. The declaration outlines aviation’s concept of ‘carbon neutral growth’ with a goal of carbon-free flight.

The industry will approach this through focusing on a four-pillar approach to climate change: investment in new technology, increasing operational efficiency, air traffic and airport infrastructure improvements and appropriate economic measures.

The industry also called on governments to play their part by pushing forward a global, workable emissions trading scheme; helping with research and development; and being more proactive in reducing infrastructure blockages that result in unnecessary carbon emissions, such as implementing the Single European Sky.
