Qantas joins IAG in pledge to slash emissions to counter climate change
Qantas Airways Monday pledged to slash its carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, joining IAG as the industry's response to climate change activists gathers momentum. "We're doing this because it's the responsible thing to do," Qantas' CE Alan Joyce said, calling climate change concerns "real". IAG last month became the first major airline group to make the net zero by 2050 commitment, leading the way amid intense pressure from climate change activists such as Extinction Rebellion and teenager Greta Thunberg. Qantas said it was looking to cap net emissions at 2020 levels and will invest US$34.29m over 10 years to develop sustainable fuel to help lower carbon emissions by 80% compared with traditional jet fuel. <br/>
