How to become successfully ‘net zero’
View through CrossRef
The aim of this paper is to show how important sustainable development is becoming for airports. The paper explores the current manner by which an airport needs to be much more virtuous, for example, by using the Airport Carbon Accreditation. But this carbon neutrality is only a first step that unfortunately many airports are not currently achieving. Airports must be more ambitious and reach the net zero level, which means carbon absorption and not offsetting. Many actions can be undertaken by airports in order to be compliant with social and environmental aspects that are key to the future. If airports do not cope with this trend, there is a major threat including one in the near future. In addition to reaching the net zero level, airports must be proactive in various fields in order to secure a better and a green future for airports. This can include measures for many stakeholders and better use of aircraft on land and airport accessibility.
Title: How to become successfully ‘net zero’
Description:
The aim of this paper is to show how important sustainable development is becoming for airports.
The paper explores the current manner by which an airport needs to be much more virtuous, for example, by using the Airport Carbon Accreditation.
But this carbon neutrality is only a first step that unfortunately many airports are not currently achieving.
Airports must be more ambitious and reach the net zero level, which means carbon absorption and not offsetting.
Many actions can be undertaken by airports in order to be compliant with social and environmental aspects that are key to the future.
If airports do not cope with this trend, there is a major threat including one in the near future.
In addition to reaching the net zero level, airports must be proactive in various fields in order to secure a better and a green future for airports.
This can include measures for many stakeholders and better use of aircraft on land and airport accessibility.
