IATA's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, IATA has not disclosed specific carbon emissions data, indicating a need for further transparency in their reporting. However, in 2022, they reported approximately 22,000,000 kg CO2e emissions, reflecting their ongoing efforts to address climate change within the aviation sector. IATA has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net zero emissions by 2050 across all scopes, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. This long-term target underscores their commitment to sustainable aviation practices and aligns with global climate goals. The organisation's initiatives, such as the "Destination 2050" roadmap, suggest that achieving net zero CO2 emissions in civil aviation is feasible. As IATA continues to develop its strategies, the focus remains on enhancing transparency and accountability in emissions reporting.
