United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres has pointed out the failure to keep global warming below the threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius, set by the 2015 Paris Agreement.
Over the past five decades, rising greenhouse gas levels have contributed to global warming and worsening climate change, which present major obstacles to sustainable socio-economic development.
The aviation sector's contribution to global warming via emissions is projected to increase as air transport continues to grow unless proactive measures are taken.
It is for this reason that stakeholders in aviation and the environment are meeting for a weeklong workshop to explore innovative solutions.
