Abstract

The aviation industry is currently on a path to becoming climate-neutral and various stakeholders such as airlines, airports and regulatory bodies are setting targets to achieve this goal. The purpose of this chapter is to explain aviation’s contribution to climate change and the existing efforts of the industry to reduce and mitigate climate impact. The chapter covers recent evidence suggesting that our changing climate is beginning to impact the industry, largely in a negative manner. Therefore, the industry will need to plan and adapt to its changing environment while developing new technologies and approaches. The challenges and opportunities of alternative aircraft fuel and energy source are presented, along with modifications to infrastructure that will accelerate the transition to a carbon and climate-neutral industry.
