Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: Aviation sustainable development, climate policy, how aviation can reach net-zero, sustainable aviation fuels, social and economic benefits of aviation, infrastructure development.
Communication Activities: ATAG provides a collaborative environment to foster the exchange of ideas, joint approaches to common issues and a united voice to ensure governments, industry and civil society can work together to progress the sustainable development of air transport.
ATAG specifically plays an active role in bringing together its partners worldwide to improve communications about aviation's goal of net-zero carbon by 2050. In October 2022, the aviation sector became one of the first in the world to adopt a global long-term net-zero carbon goal. It achieved this by aligning aviation behind a common approach to decarbonisation and then encouraged governments to adopt the same goal.
In the same year, ATAG enlisted help from the next generation of aviation leaders, asking young aviation professionals to send a video message to the world's governments through social media to adopt a long-term goal that would serve their future jobs and connect the world. ATAG created a #FlyNetZero campaign with the participation of 65 young aviation professionals, creation of three main videos in English, French, Spanish and Mandarin.
ATAG provides access to a wide range of information via its websites (www.aviationbenefits.org and www.atag.org) and publications and factsheets which provide a global perspective on air transport sustainability and climate issues as well as the social and economic benefits of aviation. These include:
- Beginner's guide to sustainable aviation fuels, 2023
