Aviation connects the world, enabling trade and human connection, which plays a key role in socio-economic development.
Yet with that extraordinary reach comes an extraordinary responsibility: to ensure that the skies we rely on today do not come at the cost of the planet we leave for tomorrow.
The aviation sector has adopted several ambitious global aspirational goals:
carbon neutral growth 2020;
a Long-Term Aspirational Goal (LTAG) of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050; and
a global aspirational Vision of
5% CO₂ emission reduction by 2030 using aviation cleaner energies.
Important progress has been made, with the implementation status and results being tracked transparently by ICAO, including through the Stocktaking Events, which are now part of the ICAO Aviation Climate Weeks.
Progress is being made, but the pace must accelerate, and the ambition must grow.
It is in this spirit that ICAO is proud to convene the ICAO Aviation Climate Week 2026, under the theme
One Global Path: Advancing Net-Zero Aviation taking place from 2 to 4 June 2026 at ICAO Headquarters in Montréal, Canada.
