Despite these figures, Københavns Lufthavne A/S has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the aviation sector, particularly as global awareness of climate change intensifies. The airport's emissions per passenger have varied, with figures such as 1.03 kg CO2e in 2022 and 2.4 kg CO2e in 2021, indicating ongoing efforts to improve efficiency. Overall, while Københavns Lufthavne A/S has made strides in tracking emissions, the lack of formal reduction targets highlights an area for potential growth in their climate strategy.
