European airports plan for net zero carbon emissions
An organisation representing airports in 45 European countries said Wednesday that it plans to get airports to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Airport Council International Europe president Michael Kerkloh told aviation officials that the strategy's launch aligns European airports with the Paris climate accords by putting climate change at the heart of business decisions. That's "an absolute must" for all industries, said Kerkloh. The net zero carbon emissions target applies to all member airports. Kerkloh said 140 airports operated by 40 members have affirmed their commitment to the goal, while 3 Swedish airports have already achieved it. The goal does not include aircraft emissions but those of the airport's buildings, infrastructure and vehicles. <br/>
