A Meeting that Signals More Than Cooperation On 14 June 2025, senior representatives from the European Union and the People’s Republic of China met in Beijing for the sixth High-Level Environment and Climate Dialogue. Co-chaired by Executive Vice-President Teresa Ribera and Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang, the dialogue was more than a […]

How a Centralised SAF Platform Is Redefining Aviation Collaboration The aviation sector, once seen as a hard-to-abate domain, is now taking bold steps toward meaningful decarbonisation. At the forefront of this movement is a digital initiative launched by the International Air Transport Association. The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Matchmaker platform is

A New Energy Landscape for Aviation As global aviation faces increased scrutiny for its carbon footprint, a quiet yet potent revolution is taking shape across the United States. A shift in the levers of influence—from federal to state-level action—is beginning to redefine how low-carbon fuels, particularly Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF),

A New Chapter in Latin America’s Aviation Sustainability Colombia’s formal entry into the ACT-SAF Program, spearheaded by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), marks a pivotal moment in the global aviation sustainability movement. This is not just a bureaucratic step but a signal of strategic commitment. By aligning itself with

The aviation industry has long grappled with the challenge of decarbonization. As global demand for air travel continues to rise, so does the sector’s environmental footprint. However, a pivotal moment recently unfolded in Europe that could mark a turning point in the journey toward cleaner skies. An electric aircraft, ALIA

A Quiet Yet Defining Move in Global Aviation Singapore is in the early stages of drafting new legislation that would require airlines to participate in carbon offsetting initiatives. While this development might appear as a bureaucratic adjustment at first glance, it signals something far more significant — the city-state’s careful

A New Era for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Procurement The aviation sector is undergoing a critical shift. As pressure mounts to meet net zero targets by 2050, the International Air Transport Association has introduced a transformative digital solution: the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Matchmaker platform. This move represents more than just a

The Evolving Role of Airports in a Warming World Airports are no longer just spaces of transit. In the Asia-Pacific and Middle East region, they are increasingly emerging as strategic actors in the global sustainability movement. Once considered passive infrastructures in the aviation value chain, these hubs are now leading

A Historic Leader at a Crossroads For decades, the European Union has served as a beacon of progressive climate policy. The launch of its Emissions Trading System (ETS) in 2005 was nothing short of a global milestone. It created a blueprint for market-based emissions control and inspired similar systems across

A Quiet yet Powerful Step Toward Greener Skies In an era where the aviation sector is under increasing scrutiny for its climate impact, Vietnam has made a crucial yet understated decision. By announcing its commitment to the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), the country signals a

The global aviation sector has long been under scrutiny for its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, every progressive policy shift, especially from nations with growing air transport networks, signals momentum toward a greener future. Recently, Turkey unveiled a transformative policy directive focused on Sustainable Aviation Fuel, marking a defining

A New Era in Aviation Energy The aviation sector is witnessing a transformative shift. As sustainability becomes an indispensable pillar of long-term viability, innovative approaches are needed not just in aircraft design or operations, but in the very fuel that powers flight. In a significant stride, the International Air Transport

A new chapter in European aviation is unfolding. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and EUROCONTROL have announced an elevated strategic partnership aimed at sustainability and civil-military coordination. While headlines may focus on collaboration and policy, the deeper narrative is one of systemic change—where technological progress, regulatory foresight, and

Understanding the Full Spectrum of Aviation’s Climate Impact For years, efforts to reduce aviation’s climate footprint have centered on carbon dioxide emissions. While this focus is understandable—CO₂ remains a persistent and measurable greenhouse gas—it tells only part of the story. Recent scientific studies now highlight a broader climate impact from
